Snooki wasted no time explaining her backstory while wearing a black top with a straight across neckline.

‘I was adopted at six months from Santiago, Chile. And I was adopted by Helen and Andrew Polizzi,’ she said. 

‘They flew all the way to Chile to come pick me up and they said right when they saw me they said I was like, ”Mama, Dada!” So it was meant to be, things just work out that way – it’s called fate,’ Snooki added.

‘I was always meant to be with my adopted parents, which I don’t even – ew, I hate saying adoptive parents because they are my parents. It’s weird,’ she said.

Snooki also explained her somewhat dual identity.

‘Even though my nationality is Chilean, I grew up Italian. So when people say to me what’s your nationality I say, ”I’m Chilean but I grew up Italian.” I feel like I’m both,’ she clarified.

Snooki said her parents were reluctant to tell her why she was put for adoption.

‘Eventually, when I was 21, 22, I got my dad drunk and was like, ”Dad, can you just tell me what went on? Why was I up for adoption?” And basically, my birth parents had other siblings and they couldn’t afford me,’ Snooki said.

The mother of two said she couldn’t fathom the decision.

‘I can’t even imagine putting up a child for adoption to give them a better life. That’s so amazing for them. I couldn’t even imagine how they felt giving me up, but thank you for that,’ Snooki continued.
