WASHINGTON, July 7 (UPI) -- Barack Obama's father told U.S. immigration officials that he and his wife planned to put the future president up for adoption, a document shows.
At the time, Barack Obama Sr., a Kenyan national, was seeking an extension of his student visa, the Boston Globe reported Thursday. A memo by Lyle H. Dahling, an official in the Honolulu office of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, details a conversation months before Obama was born in 1961.
