drug dependant baby, advice needed

Stumbled across this thread, never expecting such an ending.
What an utterly inspirational woman.
RIP EMIN. An angel on Earth, now an angel in heaven.

Heartbreaking what an amazing lady.

Came across this thread not really knowing what to expect, what an incredibly kind, funny and generous women. Heartbroken for your family, your legacy is all those children who you so selflessly took care of and loved 💜

Such an inspiration.
It's people like EMIN who show the rest of us, how to be the best we can be.
Thank you

I have just come across this tread too, and began reading as I am an adoptive parent whose lo was with foster parents for their first year. What a wonderful person EMIN was. Sobbed through the end of it. RIP.

Just come across this and read from start to finish didn't realize it was old what a lovely person emin was ad i'm also sitting here with tears rolling down my face why is it always the good ones get taken
RIP EMIN xxx

Happy, teary, tragic and ultimately humbling thread.

EMIN

RIP EMIN such a wonderful person 😢😢 truly heartbreaking xxxx

This post just about broke my heart. What a wonderful woman you were EMIN. And to think there is a beautiful little girl out there who is thriving all thanks to the love and dedication of you and your DH.

Wow so emotional reading this.

RIP emin

I know this thread is old, but I was looking for info on the effects of drugs on babies to try and make sense of my own messed up childhood. Wow.
Then I kept reading and the ending broke me a little.
EMIN was amazing. She gave so many babies their best start in life and I hope Ladybird hears all about her and treasures that letter EMIN wrote for her.

I don't think this thread will ever stop going.

Amanda, if you're still here, it may have been several years since your mum passed, but the lives she has improved, the hearts she has touched, they just keep on adding up. Everyone who met your mum, either in real life or on this thread, will have had their hearts warmed by her. Your mum deserved eternal life, and I hope that's what she's getting in her heaven.

RIP EMIN.

Jesus what a heartbreaking yet beautiful thread. Wonderful, wonderful women xxx

Beautiful EMIN. I'm glad I got to know you through this thread. I wish I'd known you in life. What an incredible woman you are. You really showed us what love is ❤️

I have just read all of this thread, as i just came across it. I am literally crying, there are some truly special people, whose lives are a testament to true goodness.
Rest in peace sweet EMIN, the Angels needed you back.

I’m another one who has read this for the first time.
Earth mother was an amazing lady.

I wonder where the little one is now. 10 years old. I hope she’s having a fabulous childhood.
💖💕💐💕💕💐💕💕💐💕💕💐

Saw this thread mentioned elsewhere and read it for the first time from start to finish. This is going to change who I am. I haven’t cried so much for so long for years.
RIP EMIN.

What an inspiring person you were @EarthMotherImNot. I’ve just read the full thread and I feel so thankful for all you did for the children you fostered.
You clearly touched so many lives. Rest in peace you wonderfully lady.
I wonder how the lovely LO is now? She must be around 10. Bless her

💔 Couldn't put it better than PPs have but just read full thread for the first time and couldn't leave without saying how moved I was by your amazing story.

Emin your beautiful way with words made this story heartwarming/ heartbreaking all at once. I cried all the way through lovely Ladybird's story and the ending just finished me off.

Your family must be so proud of you, the fact that this thread is still going nearly ten years on speaks for itself. Rest in peace emin, what an inspiration you are🌷

*Just read the whole thread.

I’m so utterly devastated that EMIN lost her fight with cancer. It really does take the best.

Thank you Mumsnet for putting this in classics so that more people can know the good she did whilst she was here.

RIP angel*

This poster said it better than I could. RIP EMIN. You showed exactly what matters in life and I hope that your family know how many hearts you have touched. Not only the foslings, but all those of us who have read this too. I cannot imagine how overwhelmingly proud of you your family must be. People like you are the true heroes in this world. You are an inspiring woman, wherever you happen to be now, though I am sure it is watching over all those you have loved and given a life to.

May God keep you and may you rest in peace until you are reunited with all those you have not only loved, but shown HOW to love.

Words will never ever be enough to tell you the effect that you have had. RIP EMIN xxx

What a wonderful woman EMIN was, I've just read this again, cried all the way through.
I hope her family are doing well and that little ladybird is growing up and that her life is good.

What a wonderful, selfless woman

Such a lovely post-thread. I hope the little girl is doing well and knows in the future how lucky she is to have had such a caring person look after her. Really touching and sweet. Good job well done EMIN.

Such a wonderful, kind woman.
An inspiration. I hope the baby, that must now be about 9 is doing well & is happy.

Thank you EMIN for this post. Rest peacefully x
