OFA Names National Spokesperson

The Orphan Foundation of America (OFA) is pleased to announce that Jett Williams, daughter of country music legend Hank Williams and a renowned singer-songwriter in her own right, will be its official national spokesperson. OFA is the nation's oldest organization solely focusing on education, mentoring and workforce development for youth who have aged out of the foster care system.

Born in Alabama just five days after her father's death, Jett was legally adopted by Hank Williams' mother, Lillian Stone. When her grandmother died within weeks of completing the adoption, Jett was no longer wanted by the family and was made a ward of the state. After a series of foster care placements, she was adopted and raised by Wayne and Louise Deupree, and grew up not knowing who her real father was until she was over 30 years old.

Jett Williams' autobiography, Ain't Nothin' as Sweet as My Baby - The Story of Hank Williams' Lost Daughter, chronicles her riveting story of legal sleuthing, court battles, self-discovery and ultimate triumph. Today she is a successful performer based in Nashville and shares guardianship over her father's estate and legacy.
