Hanai parents are like adoptive parents. Hanai was (is?)a custom where a family would "adopt" a child given by someone else and raises that child as a family member. If for what ever reason your Biological parents could not raise you, Hanai was used. Sometime childeren were given to ohana who had no children, out of respect. http://www.tikiking.com Neat Tiki Stuff [ Edited by: tiki king on 2003-03-18 16:49 ] |
