What is the main character's conflict on "The Face on the Milk Carton"?

The main

very happily.  Then, she sees her face on the back of a mil carton where faces of children gone
missing would appear. Essentially, Janie must deal with being pulled between two families that
love her. When the truth comes out, Janie must go back to live with her biological parents even
though her adoptive parents are the only family she has ever known. She must move to a new
house, live with a new family and start a new school.  She must fight to understand who she
really is now and what she really wants for her life.
