How can I be adopted by a Japanese family and start living in Japan? -

This may sound crazy but im really sick of life. My friends, family, everything. Im wondering if there is some program that has a Japanese family adopt an American child into their life. I WOULD just go live in Japan, but seeing how i m not fully capable of supplying for myself yet, i d like to be adopted by a Japanese family, live with them until i m old enough to start supplying for myself and then start living my own. PLEASE tell me if u have any knowledge of a program such as this.

There is NO program like that. You must have a relative or something and ask them to adopt you. But there must be sufficient reason like, you don t have anyone to support you in your counrty. Or a Japanese court will not approve it.

It s impossible. Give it up. Normal japanese families would never think of adopting a gaijin in the first place, anyway. And, unless you look just like a japanese, you ll have serious problems integrating into their society. And you ll end up with multiple mental issues, and grow up into a wreck. If you really need to change the life you have now, the best way is to work hard and start being independent. Then you can survive on your own, move to anywhere else you can afford, and make new friends, start a new life.

Japanese law allows to adopt children from foreign countries. I checked the regulation and it says the age of the child must be under 6. I guess you are above 6 already. Maybe you better seek another way to enter Japan. This girl who sometime appears on medias is Iranian. She lost her parents at Iran Iraq war when she was 4. One Japanese woman adopted her and now living in Japan with Japanese family. http://sahel.mlacky.net/gallery/index.ht...

Love and respect your own family of blood. The grass is always greener you know. In additional accordance with Japanese law, the adopted child from foreign country over 6 something could not come in Japan so that the government has banned it for illegal alien through fake adoption.

sorry but you`ll need to find another way mate..also,have you been to Japan before? i dont mean as a vacation for a few weeks,i mean have you been here for a few months or more? if not then think VERY carefully about living here..it is not easy and it`s not the utopia everyone makes it out to be..

If you re under 18, you can t go anywhere without your parents consent. Do you really think your parents are going to agree with this? This isn t crazy, it s sad. And there s thousands of other kids who feel exactly as you do...You ll get over it in time.

gomennasai..:(

how old are you? why not try to find a job in japan instead?
