Heartful Japanese Immigration VS Heartful Japanese Immigration VS

A 13-year-old Thai girl living in Japan with her grandmother filed a lawsuit Tuesday, seeking the repeal of an immigration bureau decision to deny her permanent residency status....
The grandmother adopted the girl in 1997, in accordance with Thai law. Her husband also adopted her after she came to Japan.
The immigration bureau explained that she is too old to get permanent residency status as an adopted child. According to conditions set by the Justice Ministry, children in this bracket must be younger than 6 when adoption takes place.
Yoshida, a student at a junior high school in Tokyo's Arakawa Ward, said she can read and write Japanese. "I don't want to go back to Thailand. I have no house to live in and no one who can take care of me there,"
