Judging Meghan

When she was in high school, Samantha Wetje's family seemed perfect from the outside. Their family was a pillar to the community. But what they didn't know was that her dad's mental health struggles and addition issues had lead to her family being torn apart. While Samantha was devestated at the time, she didn't have the words to really understand what she was going through.

Years later, Samantha realized that she was not the only teen to have experienced an Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE). She now has founded a nationwide program dedicated to helping kids understand what ACEs are and how they can overcome them.

Host Meghan Judge interviews Mary Herbert in the first interview that has left her speechless.

When she was young, Mary did not think much about what her life would have been like if she had not been adopted. But as got older, the fog began to lift. She began to realize more and more that she was missing a piece of herself.

Her search for her biological mother lasted more than a decade and in the end, she ended up finding a lot more than she bargained for.

More information on Mary’s Story and updates about her upcoming book can be found on her instagram: @becauseadoption
