'It's Called Fate': Snooki Opens Up About Her Adoption Story

Nicole Polizzi loves to talk about her family member -- and right now, the Jersey Shore: Family member Vacation cast member is first up about her own background.


"I was adopted at six months from Santiago Chile," the mother of two reveals in the candid video above. "And I was adopted by Helen and Andrew Polizzi. They flew all of the way to Chile to come pick me up and so they mentioned right while they saw me they mentioned I was like, ‘Mama, Dada.’ So it was meant to be, things just work out that way, it’s called fate," she explains, while adding that she is both Chilean and Italian and asserts it's "weird" to call her mom and dad "adoptive parents."


once she claimed she routinely knew," she started to press her parents about the past any time whenever she was a teenager.


“Every time I ask my parents they would get furious she stated. "I could just tell they would get angry because they didn’t aspire to tell me the truth or they didn’t want me to think that they’re not my parents which was never the case."


Eventually though, dad instructed her more details.


"My birth parents had other siblings and so they couldn’t afford me," she explained. "I can’t even imagine because I have two kids, putting up a child for adoption, to give them a higher end life,” she divulged. “That’s so astonishing for them, that means how much they loved me. Although also I could never do that. I can’t even imagine how they felt giving me up yet thank you for that.”
