Sadly that's right, if you're a person who's not interested in marriage and wanting to adopt you have to fit a really specific criteria. But even passing that doesn't guarantee your ability to adopt a child. So even if you want to be a single parent the Japanese government is pretty meticulous about the well-being of of the child.
I love this book but all they have to do is adopt a child, that's what my best friend did, he and his boyfriend were having the same "problem" less children in orfanages (=・ω・=)
