Wish I was better with Kanji. ^^
I'm now curious of something else. Since you mentioned paper work, I wonder if the actual adoption process would take longer compared to people adopting children in the US.

Within a family, no, I am sure it is immediate. However, family trees are tracked very closely, to the proper paperwork would be filed and records would be kept.
I have heard stories of children in Japan that were adopted, but didn't know it until they got married and needed to update their paperwork at the city hall.
