My daughter in law was adopted by a US Navy family at Misawa Air Base in 1983. She was born in Aomori city and her name was Akiko Toki. Her adopted parents will not turn over her paperwork from the adoption. So we have limited info. I have someone currently trying to see if she can find a birth record in Misawa and Aomori. It seems more complicated that I first thought.
Apparently there are no actual birth certificates, its a family register that your name is added too? Then if adopted you are deleted from the family?
I set up a FB page with some pictures and a couple comments. I tried to contact a few "Toki's" from Aomori City hoping they would look at the pictures and make comments but it failed so far.
Just trying to figure out how to proceed with this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Alan
