However, I HIGHLY doubt you`ll ever find a situation with no relatives. The child would have to have come out of thin air. Somewhere, there will be a relative. Parents have parents, who have parents, ad infinitum. Japan keeps VERY good family records, so I would consider it an impossibility. Somewhere, there is someone who is related to the child in some way.
Guess that makes sense, although, that just makes me even more curious. What if the only relative they could come across, turned out to be a relative who moved to, say, England, or America, or wherever. Would they solely try to find relatives right there in Japan, or would they allow the relative, who now resides in another country to take in the child?
