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.

Wow, what a truly amazing and inspirational woman EMIN was, in absolute floods of tears reading this thread, sending prayers and love to her family. RIP

Fuck, I was on classics looking for a laugh. Spotted this and remembered it from the first time around - I knew it'd be a heart warmer.

Well now I'm sat here sobbing at the shittiness of life.

RIP EMIN, you beautiful thing you.

What an amazing woman.
RIP Thanks

Remember it well- no less heartbreaking yet uplifting all this time later. God rest you EMIN xxx

Amazing thread. Absolutely amazing.

What a woman. What a family. I know it's been a few years since EMIN passed but the grief doesn't leave, you just learn to live with it and I've no doubt this is the case for them.

I'm very glad that this thread is in classics and is serving to keep EMIN's memory alive. And I really hope her family continue to be comforted by this.

Thanks

Dear God. I've just read this from start to finish and I don't think I've ever sobbed at a thread so much in all my 9 MN years. What an incredible woman. I'm speechless.

This is a thread that deserves to come back from Zombieland from time to time just to remind us all how wonderful MN can be. I read it with tears streaming way back and have just been reminded once again.

The Jeffreys will never beat us.

MadrigalElectromotive · 25/08/2015 23:11

RIP EMIN. Thank you for all that you did. Flowers

MrsHaitch · 22/08/2015 23:40

Oh my. I wasn't prepared for the end of this when I started.

What a wonderful woman EMIN was, and what a legacy she left behind. I'm sure she is still missed by so many.

Fairly new to MN. Very new to MNclassics. What a truly inspirational story. You truly were a beautiful soul EMIN. Because of you and your DH, Ladybird and so many other children and families got a better start in life. You made such a difference to so many lives and you were so humble in doing so.

You really have inspired me and, no doubt so many others. RIP EMIN. This thread genuinely moved me and I will never forget it
