Is this common? For a Flip to be born to a Japanese dad?

No idea but it’s not impossible.

Does she speak Japanese?

Probably a little bit since her dad was Japanese.

This is the saddest story. She was taken away from the dad so young!

She was only 1. She’s probably never met or remembers her dad.

Well at least she got to meet her relatives. I didn’t realize there were so many flip kids that were born to Japanese parents.

Didn’t Japan try to stop these kids from getting citizenship?
