On this episode of Our American Stories, at only hours old, Jackie Darby was abandoned in a garbage dump in Seoul, Korea, where rats were already biting her tiny body when a missionary nurse rescued her. Adopted by an American family, Jackie grew up surrounded by love, but struggled with profound questions about rejection, identity, and her own self-worth.

Through faith and family, she' come to see her story very differently. Jackie shares the story of her remarkable journey from abandonment to purpose, and how God transformed the story she once carried in shame into one she now uses to encourage others. Be sure to check out her childrens book on adoption, Whose Am I?
