BRP

Stillborn child may be there!

On December 18, the anniversary of a special change in law will be celebrated. The topic: the recognition of stillborn children.

Due to various circumstances, pregnancy can come to an end prematurely, or the child may die during childbirth. But that's where it ended. The child was not registered, did not exist and received no attention anywhere. As sad as this was for the parents. 

On 18-12-18, the Senate voted in full for the amendment of the law. In the first year, more than 11,000 children were registered in the BRP. Recognition for children, who were officially not there until that time. Kids who now have a name. 

It's a birthday to keep celebrating and remembrance. Thanks to the initiator, Natasja Geyteman-Bos. She has created a special page on Facebook: ' Name my name and I exist ’. Here you can find more information about this change of law, etc.
