Abandonment is a huge issue with children and teanagers who do not live with their parents. The question they ask is if they love me so much then why aren't they here-------why did they abandon me.

As brought out in the article-----------

"But it wasn't a race thing," he said. "Barry's biggest struggles then were missing his parents. His biggest struggles were his feelings of abandonment. The idea that his biggest struggle was race is [bull]."

From what I understand his mother sent him back to Hawaii to get an education rather staying in Indonesia. This was likely the best thing his mother could have possibly done----send him back to Hawaii the international crossroads of the Pacific

Not many Hawaiian children, of all racial backgrounds, are privileged to go to Punahou. Obama was handed a silver spoon by sending him back to Hawaii where he was raised by his mother's parents---his grandparents----and educated in an international school.

What a perceptive mother-----because of her keen perception he had the start in life that many abandoned children would cherish.
