Obeng was originally a citizen of Chad but could not pass that citizenship to his son due to the laws of Chad regarding citizenship by descent. Similarly, Charlotte was also not a citizen of any country as her parents had been transient when she was young and never established her citizenship in any nation. In Canada, the family hoped to finally find a permanent home where they could become part of the citizenry. A few years after arriving, their youngest daughter, Imani, was born in Canada.
