Recognition of suffering, distance and adoption imminent

On April 3, Member of Parliament Michiel van Nispen submitted a motion on behalf of 8 parties that together have a majority in parliament to recognize the suffering of abandonment and adoption.

This is a historic moment because for the first time the highest body of our country, the House of Representatives, speaks out about the misery inflicted on mothers and children. ViZ thanks the submitters of this motion for this.

Next week is the vote in the 2nd chamber and about this. We are following this closely.

The text that Van Nispen reads here is in the motion below.
