Because she had amazing adoptive parents, she stresses that she grew up with strong parental anchors in her life. But because she has not learned her full story--the perspective of her birth family--she has made it her quest to reconnect with her biological parents for closure and to learn more about herself in the process.

Within the episode, Jackie shares the autobiographical details that led to her finding ADOPTION NOW, the struggles of reconnection, and much more!
