A heart-breaking decision finally turned out well. The mother is living in Ghana with her two Dutch sons. When the boys are at the age to start elementary school, the mother and father think it's for the best that the boys will relocate to the Netherlands. It is the most difficult decision the mother has ever made: in the summer the children move to the Netherlands with their fathers and their step-mothers. The parents agree that the mother will visit the Netherlands to see how the young boys are doing. Regretfully, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs refuses the mother a holiday visa. The family comes to our office.
