So, knowing what we know now, y'all know what I just realized?
Hordak very possibly saved Adora's life.
Light Hope brought her to Etheria, but she was also a dumb AI who didn't know what a baby was. It stands to reason that she was just going to... wait for Adora to mature and make her way over, or something. She doesn't seem to grasp the concept of a baby.
Had Hordak not investigated the portal and found infant Adora, it's very possible that she simply would have died. And Light Hope would have tried to pull another kid into Despondos.
