Alisha Kwon Hammett
I was born of biracial heritage (Korean and African American) in Dongducheon, South Korea. I have been adopted twice. My mom has been the single greatest influence in my life. She gave me the courage to overcome the challenges I faced from being adopted twice, along with identity issues being a biracial child. Her compassion, communication, and endless encouragement shaped the woman I am today. Seven years ago, I had the incredible opportunity to find my biological family and meet my biological brother and sister with whom I am continually growing a special relationship with everyday.
 
I am incredibly excited to be partnering with such an inspirational and intelligent young woman- Sheryl Nguyen! We met at Korean Heritage Camp in 2009 and decided to create Keys To Our Future together. Her insights, initiative, and contributions are priceless. Sheryl has a huge heart to help others and I look forward to taking this journey along side her and with all of you!

I was born in Kang-won Do, South Korea with an identical twin sister. I was born into a home with three older brothers, of whom I have never met. Despite not having my other siblings with me, my sister and I were fortunate to be adopted around age 4.5 by a great couple who had been trying for a long time to grow their family. My parents gave me the support and always taught by example every day. I have always fought for what I believe in and adoption education/services is definitely something I will do for the rest of my life. I have been doing volunteer work/public speaking for over 12 years and I was so elated to meet Alisha in June 2009. Her energy and passion to provide a year-round free service to parents was something I had dabbled with in the past, but had not gone to the extent of establishing an organization like Keys To Our Future.

                                          

I hope that this organization is something that adoptive parents can benefit from and learn the adult adoptee perspective. Alisha and I are both working professionals who can provide that bridge between parents and their adopted children. We are dedicated to helping make happy/healthy families. We are YOUR one-of-a-kind resource. I look forward to meeting each and every one of you at one of our monthly sessions!
