GI Baby
A GI Baby is a child born to a Japanese woman by a military servicemember of the Allied Occupation Forces of Japan. GI Babies were typically orphans due to the difficulties raising such children, and were also called "mixed orphans". Because the British Federal Occupation Force had taken measures to prohibit dating with non-white women from the viewpoint of racism, the soldiers could not obtain permission to marry a Japanese woman. If it was discovered that a child was born in violation of this, the child was forcibly separated from the family. The ban was abolished in 1952, and hundreds of war brides went to Australia and Britain, but it was reported that in many cases, tragedy still occurred.
