Mirjam's Foundation finds Anna's biological mother after more than 50 years

Mirjam Hunze, 53, from Willemsoord, and her Chilean Adoptees Foundation have managed to find a biological mother for the first time. It's a breakthrough in a bizarre story of child theft and kidnapping that began in the 1970s. "I'm deeply moved."

It concerns Anna Nilson from Sweden, who had been searching for her biological mother in Chile for years. A successful DNA test provided the final answer: her mother was found.

This was achieved thanks to the efforts of Mirjam Hunze's foundation. "As a foundation, we are incredibly proud that we managed to travel to Chile ourselves and successfully administer a DNA test," she says.

Bizarre adoption story

Mirjam is still searching for her biological parents. Last year, she shared her story after a journalist from the AD newspaper delved deeper into her adoption case.

An investigation revealed that the "fake nun" Sister Kuijpers illegally brought approximately 120 babies from Chile to the Netherlands. "I call it human trafficking. I came to the Netherlands from Chile with a Dutch name. That should never have happened," says Mirjam. "Even though I'm still searching, it's heartwarming to see that we've been able to reunite Anna with her mother."
