Well then, ask if they can be more specific about just what they mean by "loose morals". That's really vague. And point out how seriously Japanese people take a responsibility like looking after a child who has been entrusted to live with them. Japan is not a wild, hedonistic country, far from it! It has some cultural differences from the US, but then, so does every foreign country. That's the whole point of going... if it were identical to your home country, why go? Beyond that, without more precise info on what the objection is, I'm not sure what to say.
