Guest guest Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Hi Patti and everyone, We adopted our deaf daughter one year ago. She is an absolute joy. i highly recommend this journey! : ) There is a great yahoo group for people who have adopted or who want to adopt deaf children: DeafHOH-Adoption There is also a website called the Deaf Adoption News Service: http://users.erols.com/berke/deafchildren.html There are many deaf and hard of hearing children around the world who need loving families to adopt them. For instance, I know of a deaf 7 year old boy in Russia. My friends are in the process of adopting a deaf 5 year old girl in Russia, and they met this little deaf boy while they were there. Of course there are many others. It is easier to find a deaf child to adopt internationally, but it is also possible to find your child in the US. I have lots of other information and resources to share with anyone who is interested. > > We may be interested in adopting. Although I would > have to talk to my husband more about it.
