Pedro Pan had its origins in the December 1960 visit to Miami by James Baker, headmaster of the Ruston Academy in Havana to try to secure funds and visas for about 200 children. The children were placed with friends, relatives and group homes in 35 states. This made it difficult finding places and fosters for the children. But many in the Cuban exile community in Miami disagree that the program was unwarranted, believing Operation Peter Pan was necessary to remove the children from Castro’s totalitarian state and give them lives of freedom. They argue that the children were political refugees who deserved refuge here.

It wasn’t no surprise to Barack that he wasn’t going to be fully accepted as well but the major shock was the fact that him and Anna were going to get married, which wasn’t approved by her parents. Another shock was that Anna was pregnant and soon after Barry (Barack Jr.) was born, Barack disappeared and didn’t show up until later in Barry early childhood life.
