My son was asked to do something that is just really so much.

I'm not sure if I am looking for advice or not, this is more so a rant. My family lives in Brazil, we are ethnically white except my son who is indigenous. He is adopted. His tribe is a protected group because of how small it is. In Brazil, you can get into serious legal trouble if you seek to harm these tribes. Some can also be hostile so it's just recommended to not go looking for them. (Most are not like this.) Back In 2003, there was a small but kind of damaging wildfire that left many groups misplaced. Me, my then husband, and friends were journalists and photographers. We found a baby and we took him. We were unable to locate his family. My husband and I offered to adopt him. The foster care system in Brazil is.. Not that great. Everything in Brazil is corrupt in general. Others don't realize how good they have it in places like the USA.

As of 2014, we were notified by local officials that his blood family was located. We requested a DNA test when he was a toddler because we knew he was an indigenous baby, we just didn't know which tribe. His tribe is called the Piripkura and they are down to their last few members. That's why because of our son, we were granted permission by FUNAI to have some contact with them. We occasionally take him to visit them. He can speak some of their language but not really. He has taught them some of Portuguese, I think. The only few members left are females and I am not really sure why.

The last time my son visited them was a month ago in the beginning of February. He was asked to help them repopulate because he's the only male left. He told me he declined because he doesn't live like them. They told him that he is not obligated to live with them or stay, just impregnate the few females who are still able to conceive. My son told me he told them that he'd give them his answer the next time he sees them later this month. My son said he's been thinking about accepting their request for help but I told him no. He's 17, he can't father, and those women are probably over 20 something. He told me that they have no concept of society's age gap condemnation or young parenthood, for them once you've hit puberty you are old enough, and he told me that they said he doesn't have to raise any children and they will do it. They just simply need to keep their tribe in existence. I still told my son no and he got mad at me. We got into a huge fight and haven't spoken to one another in weeks. He doesn't understand me. We are his family, they are not his family. He owes them nothing. If they are still around when he's in his 20s, then he can help. But anything before his mid 20s is just not okay because his brain is still developing until 25 so I don't think he really grasps what he was asked of. He is not innocent, I'm aware of that, hes had a girlfriend before but they were using birth control. I just hope he soon understands me. They asked too much of him and it was unfair.
