OMG...that's a real inspiring story from the hearing parents of deaf child! They made the right decision and headed to the right direction to help their daughter involved in the deaf community.

I truly want to see each state to get involved with DBC to help the hearing parents of deaf babies to decide on the option of languages they choose for deaf babies. I'm pleased to see a newly formed DBC of Indiana. I've been wanting to form DBC of Connecticut as well. That's why I'd like all of the states to form DBC.

That's awesome she knew to seek out a deaf adult to jumpstart and continue her journey into Deaf culture for her daughter. It shows in her ASL skills. Yum-O!

You are all very kind! We are so proud of our daughters Mercedes (Deaf) and Jennika (signing hearie).
As long as there are Deaf, there will be sign language!
