And that succeeded, according to the Spring Memorandum. Before 2025, 2026 and 2027, 10.7 million euros are allocated annually. An outcome of a previously made calculation. For the years that followed, it will be looked at at a later time, because there is still a new childcare system.

Legal case as a turning point

In the Spring Memorandum, the lawsuit of the two foster families is specifically mentioned. “All the time, effort and frustration have been for nothing,” says Lia. “We no longer have children at the shelter, but for the parents, it is fantastic.”

Foster parent Tjitske also responds with pleasure. “Because of this you will also find more people willing to become a foster parent.” And according to her, that is important, since there is a huge shortage of foster families. But she also says: “See first and then believe.”

Appeal Parlan is still running

Because in the meantime it still plays appeal that Parlan has filed. That is also about the reception costs for 2025. “Parlan has now supplied documents for this, our lawyer must respond to that. But when the appeal is used, it is still unclear.”
