Yeah but in those cases the one being adopted is a Japanese national who's going to be their successor or something, not some gaijin with deep emotional issues.Adult adoption is a common tradition in Japan. 98% of all adoptions in Japan are adult ones - mostly bosses adopting a younger male employee.
How long have she and Manaki been married? Yes three years is what they say you need before applying for PR but the majority of cases they're not going to get it. Five years, as far as I know, is when a lot of these cases are granted. And even then it's if you have ties. As most married people start to have kids around this point it's seen as a good enough reason to grant them PR. Otherwise you have to wait 8-10 years.Given her tenuous position when they got married and the fact she’s been with Maniki quite a while I’d be surprised if the PR stuff wasn’t squared away quite awhile ago, either through marriage or adoption. I could see a stable place to live being a bigger factor for Venus.
So I don't think she has PR and I don't believe Manaki's parents actually adopted her in the legal sense. But I guess in the end we'll find out soon what's going on.
