Give the adopted parents a big hug for being so open. They knew it meant a lot to her. One of the special moments on AI.

For a quick minute the grandmother got her daughter back thru her granddaughter performing her mom's song. That was amazing.

She sang in my church!! Holy. Everyone was in tears. Natural talent.

Can you believe the instant chemistry between both families? That’s probably the best part for me. And I am saying this being totally blown away by her voice.

I am from Bisbee. We all LOVED Whiskey Girl and Nowhere Man. Amy was amazing and it was so tragic when she died so young from kidney failure, Derrick following soon after taking his own life to be with her. We miss them and we all cried when we heard this amazing story..and the beautiful voice of Amy’s daughter. We are all rooting for you!!!

She looks just like her Adopted mother… I would’ve never thought in a million yrs that she was adopted!! She looks just like her mother🥰

After 43 years, I found my birth mother, my 2 sisters, and my brother. We connected in Sept 2023. It still doesn't feel real. I'm so happy for McKenna!!! ❤

That grandmother just wrecked my soul. She misses her baby so much and just a piece of her back.

This girl has STAR written all over her. The voice, the face, the composure.

Wow, that voice, so beautiful. I love that her parents included her birth family. So unselfishly giving, so loving, so understanding. I hope she goes far in music, and in life.

If you've ever lost a loved one early, to find someone who rekindles the memories of that which was, has got to be one of the few kindnesses the universe bestows when healing is needed. And her voice...How she was voted off Idol is beyond me.

This is so cool! I knew her natural mom Amy and Derek AKA No where man and whiskey girl. Derek was my son's guitar teacher here in Willcox AZ. This made me cry... my whole family loved them soo much.

She’s gorgeous, talented, well mannered and an absolute joy. Her parents raised her well.

OMG. McKenna is a great artist and her birth mom had incredible talent as singer and composer

Kudos to her birth mom for giving her life. Look at this wonderful gift she is able to give back to her family, after her own death!!!
