Amanda Rector was at the height of her addiction when she gave birth to her second child in 2004. The baby, a boy named Hunter, was born dependent on opioids and swiftly removed from his mother’s care. She had already lost custody of her eldest son, Jameson. “I hated myself for using when I was pregnant,' Rector tells TODAY.com. “When Hunter came out he was so uncomfortable, and my heart … I just shut down.
“Anything that was positive or healthy, I did it,” Rector says. Before Rector was released from prison, she sent Hunter’s adoptive parents a letter. Rector’s father attended the same church as them and she didn’t want them to feel nervous about running into her. “I wrote to let them know I going to be going to a different church than my dad,” she says. Rector never received a response. There were occasional Hunter sightings.
