drug dependant baby, advice needed

734 replies

EarthMotherImNot · 03/03/2010 15:20

I've been asked to foster a baby expected to be suffering drug withdrawal when it is born next week.

It is years since I've cared for one of these and any advice would be most gratefully received.

I've just read this thread for the first time from beginning and I'm heartbroken by the ending.

I hope that you can truly rest in peace knowing that the selfless love you gave to all of these tiny babies will be carried with them forever x

Goodbye EMIN. You were an angel on earth

Thumbwitch · 05/09/2013 06:34

I've also just read this thread through, having seen the link on the thread by EMIN's daughter, and am doubly sad that she has gone. What a wonderful, inspirational fabulous woman she was - her family must be so very very proud of her, ALL her family, including her foster children whose lives she made so much better.

RIP EMIN - I know you will be in your heaven, wherever that may be.

for Flowers / Emin, who was a truly wonderful person.

Dayshiftdoris · 04/09/2013 21:38

I know that cry and to have not only lived with it day and night but to have actually healed it.... Truly astounding

EMIN - the love, care and attention you gave all 'your' children will ensure you are never ever forgotten.

Lots of love to all your family.

Every time I think of the letter you wrote LO more tears roll... A very special lady - RIP xxxx

LtEveDallas · 04/09/2013 21:33

I didn't put two and two together before. I remember reading this thread and getting very emotional. I thought EMIN was just bloody amazing then, and still do now. So very sorry to hear such sad news. I hope that the love she had here was reflected IRL, and that her family can see how many lives she touched.

RIP you fabulous, amazing woman.

I feel like MNHQ need to do or say something but what I don't know. Just feels huge .

mynameisnotmichaelcaine · 04/09/2013 21:28

RIP Emin.

MissStrawberry · 04/09/2013 21:26

I didn't see this thread first time around but I heard about the amazing work that EMIN and Her DH did with the baby this thread is about. I have just read it with tears falling and just thinking about the baby who will never be able to meet EMIN again has finished me off.

What a truly amazing person she was.

TeaMakesItAllPossible · 04/09/2013 21:20

A beautiful woman who did amazing things. This thread has really touched my heart. Love, light and prayers for the amazing EMIN and all those who love her.

Ineedanewone · 04/09/2013 21:20

I will never forget Emin and her care, compassion and love.
Rest in endless peace.

NotAQueef · 04/09/2013 21:03

I read this thread last year, and sobbed my heart out for the baby - but also at the love and compassion shown by EMIN.
So sorry and sad to hear this news
RIP EWIM, love and strength to your family x

blueskiesandbutterflies · 04/09/2013 20:58

RIP EMIN, so sad to hear of your passing.

So glad so many foster babies had you as their carer. You were a beautiful, selfless & truly inspirational person. Thinking of your DH, family (& ladybird) Xx

Tiredemma · 04/09/2013 19:07

Crying here.

The sheer love that oozed from EMINs posts is enormous. What an amazing lady.

I'm sure there are many children whose lives have been thoroughly enriched by having EMIN in them
