Q:
I went to the city hall this morning to complete the adoption procedures.
It seems that my mother's side of the family has actually been in the family since the Japan's Edo period, and there are properties such as land that have been passed down from generation to generation. My siblings and I need to hold and inherit them well, so we have decided to join my mother's side of the family this time.
I have just heard that in Western countries there are more people who do not join the family but stay as partners than in Japan. I wonder how our family is perceived by these people. Does this sound natural?

A:
There are a few small errors in this passage, but the overall message is clear. Here is a suggested edit:
"This morning, I went to the city hall to complete the adoption procedures. It turns out that my mother's side of the family has actually owned land that has been passed down through generations since Japan's Edo period. My siblings and I want to properly inherit and manage it, so we have decided to join my mother's side of the family. I have heard that in Western countries, more people choose to stay as partners without formally joining families, unlike in Japan. I wonder how our family would be perceived by those who follow this different custom."
This edit clarifies the meaning of the passage while also making it sound more natural in English.
