Talking about adoption is this really important thing that we do in society is that we take children into better situations? I don't think like it should be a huge part of the children's life, like having these bio parents and trying to process all those relationships.
Whitney Horne’s story is a heartfelt exploration of adoption, addiction, and the healing journey after a devastating loss. Growing up just outside Atlanta, GA, Whitney and her younger sister Hayden were adopted at birth. Whitney’s battle with an eating disorder began in middle school, coinciding with Hayden’s struggle with substance use. Tragically, Hayden's addiction led to her untimely death at just 19 years old.

She sheds light on the complex relationship between adoption and addiction, offering invaluable insights for families navigating similar paths. As a single mom with a deep love for animals, Whitney also shares her personal strategies for moving forward after such a profound loss.
Her story is a testament to resilience and the importance of open dialogue about adoption and addiction. Tune in to hear Whitney’s inspiring journey and discover how she found hope and healing amidst the heartache.
