In May, Jewel shared photos of herself with Grace and her adopted mother on Mother's Day, admitting the celebration was a "mixed bag of emotions".
"Mother's Day can be more than honouring the person who went into labour and gave birth to you, but honouring the person who has been there for you through thick and thin, has offered you unconditional love and made you the person who you are today," she wrote.
