Launch of the "2026 Survey on Choices Beyond Biological Children"

NPO Fine, a self-support group that assists those struggling with infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss, will conduct the "2026 Survey on Choices Beyond Biological Children" from June 10, 2026, to September 30, 2026. The goal is to clarify the current situation regarding the relationship between infertility patients and social care, and to provide necessary information and support to those affected and their surroundings. The results will be utilized for press releases, petitions to the government, and policy proposals.

We encourage as many people as possible to participate to understand the reality, and we would appreciate it if media outlets could feature this initiative.

(*) Social care refers to the public responsibility to raise and protect children without guardians or children for whom it is not appropriate to be cared for by their guardians, as well as providing support to families facing significant difficulties in raising children. Social care is conducted based on the philosophies of "for the best interests of the child" and "raising children as a society." (From the Children and Families Agency website)
