The emotional testimony about Ingels’ search for her biological mother makes a special impression on her colleagues in the House. The church forced the mother of the politician from Lauwe to give her up for adoption at birth.
“All I know is that I was born in the north of France, in Dunkirk. And that five days later I was dropped off by a Catholic organization, Caritas Catholica, at my parents here in Lauwe. I have an original birth certificate with a name on it which is no longer the same as today,” says Yngvild Ingels. Although the politician hopes that she can one day tell her biological mother that she is doing well.
