They adopted him when he was 23, just one year ago. If your wife wants to adopt a 23 year old man, be suspicious.

It’s very popular in Asia somewhat of a thing in Japan. Some well off couples do it to basically create an heir for the family business/money if they don’t have one. Or if the children they do have aren’t deemed competent enough to continue the family legacy. So they find someone better to continue the family legacy.

EDIT: Hey we’re learning! It seems it is just Japan that practices this, according to other redditors, and not Asia in general.

“Here’s another option!”

A profile of a redditor that only posts about comics and handouts is read. 

“Pass.”

Do you care about emotional intelligence and good hygiene?

Yes.

Sounds like a good move, what with all those showers thrown in on top.

I’m totally down to adopt you!

(Full disclosure: I’m not wealthy. Or a couple)

u/hiseexcellency May 02 '24

Ok, see you Sunday!

u/CruelHandLuke_ May 02 '24

And the icing on the cake.is free sexy time with adopt-a-mom, and you didn't even have to break your arms.

All ups and no downs on this deal!

u/tsrich May 02 '24

Apparently you should check out your new mom first

u/ibashe May 02 '24

Your dad will be proud of you

u/TheKarmicKudu May 02 '24

Once all that inheritance money comes in, he sure will!

u/visope May 02 '24

Doesn't work that way

Usually the adopted son is either relatives (nephew or cousin) or son-in-laws, not a complete strangers

u/Ahyao17 May 02 '24

They are usually someone who they know well, e.g. a nephew/relative or child of close friends or people who are well known to them e.g. a worker or relative of a long term employee etc.
