Baby Theunsie: A baby boy saved from heroin-addicted parents

Loading player...
We met Anita and her baby, Theunsie, in December 2022. He weighed just 1.8 kg when a social worker handed the tiny bundle to Anita, a nurse and foster mom to two other children.

After three months, Theunsie experienced withdrawal—his mother and father were heroin addicts. Then, one day, he stopped breathing.

In this episode of Good Morning Angels: The Legacy, Anita recalls those challenging first months of Theunsie’s life, and how Angels helped her care for her sickly baby boy—helping him heal into a happy, healthy toddler.
