drug dependant baby, advice needed

[EarthMotherImNot]

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.

Just read this post and cried the whole way through it. EMIN was an amazing woman - think this post should keep going so she's remembered xx

Thank you EMIN for what you did. Incredible thread.

What an amazing woman. Emin what a bloody inspiration! Agree this thread should be kept alive in her memory.

What a truly beautiful woman.
Cried so much reading this. But also smiled at all the lives she must have touched.

Bawling my eyes out- R.I.P. EMIN , what a beautiful big heart, and what a beautiful legacy to leave behind x

RIP EMIN
I have read this thread from start to finish tonight. You are an inspiration. You have touched people's lives. Your memory will live on.

What an inspiring and emotional thread. I just read it and tears have poured all the way from page 2.

Emin was an absolutely amazing lady.

I was an adopted baby and spent the first 2 months of my life with a foster carer who I can only hope showed me half the love that Emin did for the baby in her care.

RIP

I've honestly never read this. Despite being on here for quite some time.

I'm bawling.

RIP

This is so remarkable, inspirational and lovely.

What a beautiful, beautiful thread

What a wonderful, inspiring, strong woman.

RIP Emin.

Just read the whole thread for the first time.

Bawling. 😥

I've read this thread many times and cried every time - she was a beautiful, selfless soul.

Everyone has already said it all but had to comment. Read for the first time, I don't think it will be the last but I hope the next time I read this back I will cry less.

What a lovely woman. EMIN I hope your family are doing well and I hope you're somewhere watching over them, and all the LO's you gave the best start to.

Sat here crying. If I could be even one quarter the woman Emin was, it would be a life well lived.
Inspirational.

I remember this thread so well - I posted on it (under a different name) because I was about to adopt an addicted baby and EMIN gave me such lovely advice. My dd is now a strong, healthy and beautiful 7yo, and I think - often - about the vital role her foster carer played in getting her through those difficult early months, And then I think of EMIN.

Just RTFT, tears rolling. What an amazing selfless woman. Absolutely incredible.

What a brave, selfless, tough, and wonderful miracle of a human being. RIP EMIN.

I read this so many times, I haven't read it again but i'm still crying just opening it and reading that first post.

RIP EMIN you wonderful woman, you will always be remembered.

Have just read this all the way through, what a lovely woman EMIN was!

Such a selfless & loving woman!

RIP EMIN you beautiful woman!

Emin's thread about fostering is amazing (cried each time I've read it)

Have just read through all of this in tears. RIP Emin. Gone but never forgotten

I was looking for a funny thread in classics when I came across this. I never thought it would end like that. What an inspirational woman Emin was, thank God there are people like her. RIP.

God I just laughed, sobbed and smiled my way through this thread.
What a truly wonderful woman.
RIP emin GBNF
