It like something out of Oprah!

This is sweet. I love stories like this.

How sweet.

That poor baby. I do not get how he had no Cousins or Family to turn to in the Phillipines. Anyone to get intouch with his father in Japan since his mother was having issues… but then again he was three… I wonder if he remembered his father at all?

At least he is home now Hokkaido. I hope someone does a follow up story.

That’s because a lot of them are trying to be brought together now.

I wonder how he feels about living in Hokkaido now.

It’s because of recent laws that Japan has passed that gave the Flip children citizenship.

I remember reading about that.

How do they know it’s his son?
