Meet Jayme Hansen. Mr. Hansen is a well known authority in the adoption sphere and has truly lived a life of a dozen men.

He was on active duty in Operation Desert Storm, and has worked his way up as a CFO of the U.S. Military. Jayme has also been an active leader and volunteer in many adoptee organizations such as 325Kamra, ICAV (Intercountry Adoptee Voices), and Adoption Trafficking for the Vance Twins. He also has multiple degrees under his belt including an MBA, Public Administration, Biology, Nursing, and Cooking. Currently his is a CFO at the Defense Health Agency and is happily married with two children. KADStories.com is incredibly proud to meet Jayme locally here in MN and were awestruck by his accomplishments despite the struggles as an adoptee.
