Hello everyone,
I'm an Indian national currently living in India, and I've been doing some research on Japanese culture and society. I've come across the concept of "adult adoption" in Japan and it's something that has really piqued my interest. I have a few questions and I was hoping someone here could provide some clarification.
- How does the adult adoption system work in Japan? I understand it's often used for business succession or to continue a family name, but I'm curious about the legal and social implications. Does the adopted person get full rights as a biological child, including inheritance?
- Is it possible for a foreign national, like myself, to be adopted as an adult? If so, what are the specific requirements and procedures? Does being adopted provide any special benefits for a long-term visa or potential residency in Japan?
- Are there any specific platforms, websites, or agencies that facilitate adult adoptions? I've read that there are matching services for this purpose. If you know of any, could you please share the details?
Any information, insights, or personal experiences you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!
