Her partner in both music and life was McKenna\u2019s father, Derrick Ross. Unfortunately, Amy Ross Lopez passed away in 2013, and not too long after that, Derrick took his own life.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McKenna learned about her birth mother when she was 21 years old, although she never got the chance to meet her. She discovered more members of her birth family last summer, announcing the exciting news on Facebook in January. \u201cI found my birth family last summer (all in God\u2019s timing)&#8230;My entire family and I have been so ecstatic ever since finding them and being able to connect with them,\u201d she wrote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Flkbreinholt%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02qbFrB5jbhr71o4PgoqV7WfgTXz5EPhxH9r1ofCpdKai6F8jfa19yPAnx2zjsv8Ycl&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"659\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>While she had not met them in person, Breinholt told the judges she had FaceTimed some of them. However, she was surprised to see a few of her birth family members were actually at the Idol audition. Her adoptive parents had helped to get some of them together to surprise McKenna when she received her golden ticket to Hollywood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, she performed an original song written by her birth mother. Even Amy\u2019s mother said it was like hearing a \u201cbeautiful ghost.\u201d A clip was shown of Amy singing, showcasing the similarity in her voice to McKenna&#8217;s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"McKenna Breinholt Shares Her Adoption Story &amp; Sings Her Birth Mother&#039;s Song! - American Idol 2024\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Oq1MU6hPbBk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The other members of her birth family who attended the audition were her two aunts, Lindy Minick Nielsen and Katie Carpenter; her uncle Matthew \u201cMatt\u201d Lopez; and her grandmother, Ranelle Johnson Kane, Amy\u2019s mother.
