Being pregnant at such a younger age, the lady had to suffer from obstacles. 

Moreover, the high school she was in tried to kick her out but being a strong girl, and after some agreement, she somehow managed to stay back.

Jeff's biological father didn't recognize his child 

Yes, you heard it true. But most of you might raise queries of how it could a father not recognized his son? 

Well, clarifying the situation, the lady (mother) settled with her new spouse, asking permission from her ex, adopting their son with her new husband, and Miguel's surname. 

After all the agreement, Ted lost contact with the whole family. 

The man even didn't know where and how his son was, living or dead? 

Until 2012, Ted was unaware that his biological son was the founder and CEO of a multinational company because he forgot the last name "Bezos," which was adopted from his stepfather Miguel and was shocked when he got to know about his son.

Where did Miguel and Jacklyn meet before the wedding?

Jacklyn, even after happening so much into her life, didn't stop from pursuing the education. 

She managed to take night classes where she, for the first time, met her husband, Miguel.
