    Khalil’s mother is June Lum, the daughter of Kwai Lum and Gertrude Robinson. Kwai was born in China. Gertrude was born in South Carolina. Them on the 1950 Census:

    I could not find concrete evidence of Gertrude’s parents.

    Some sources say Gylan Kain is Khalil’s adoptive father. Gylan and June’s marriage record says they were married in 1970. But of course, he could still be his biological father:
