The parents of President Barack Obama made plans to have their unborn son adopted by the Salvation Army, according to part of an immigration document made public for the first time, the Daily Telegraph reported.

A few months before Mr. Obama was born, Barack Obama Sr., the future president's father, was under scrutiny from immigration officials who suspected him of bigamy.

When they interviewed him in Hawaii in the spring of 1961, the then 24-year-old insisted he had divorced his first wife in Kenya and informed them that his new wife, Ann Dunham, was five months' pregnant.

"Subject got his USC [United States citizen] wife 'Hapai' [Hawaiian for pregnant] and although they were married they do not live together and Miss Dunham is making arrangements with the Salvation Army to give the baby away," wrote Lyle H. Dahling, an administrator in the Honolulu immigration office, on April 12, 1961.

Obama and Dunham family members insisted that Obama's mother always intended to keep him.（点击英国《每日电讯报》查看原文）

奥巴马差点被领养

       英国《每日电讯报》消息，一份首次公开的移民局文件显示，美国总统奥巴马的父母曾在奥巴马出生之前计划将他送给救世军组织收养。

       奥巴马出生的几个月前，他的父亲老奥巴马被移民局怀疑犯有重婚罪而接受检查。

       1961年春天，时年24岁的老奥巴马在夏威夷接受审问时，坚称自己在肯尼亚已经与第一任妻子离婚并且他的新任妻子安•邓纳姆已经怀孕五个月。

       当时檀香山移民局的一位官员里乐•达令于1961年4月12日记录下如下文字：“嫌犯的美国妻子已经怀孕，尽管他们结婚了但他们不住在一起，邓纳姆小姐已经安排救世军组织收养腹中胎儿。”

       针对这一说法，奥巴马和邓纳姆家族都坚称奥巴马的母亲从未打算放弃过他。
