Vanilla Deaf

April 4, 2007

Bonnie,

I am sorry for the dealy in this response. I am not sure what I can add and I

hope you are right in the deaf community becoming more open and accepting and

our young people will find their place. It can be a sticky place to be and I

have not seen a great deal of openness.

For Miss Patty, her skills hopefully, will show the way and she will flow

seamlessly in as she begins the journey into independent living, working, etc.

I am glad she is feeling accepted and included--it says alot and I am grateful

for that.

I am nearing my soapbox, but don't have the energy right now, so I will back

away

We will talk soon! xo

Re: Vanilla Deaf

Pam,

Makes ya wonder just what " deaf enough " is.. My son is not " deaf enough "

because he has some hearing in his right ear (moderate loss) and speaks (though

to strangers is hard to understand), my daughter is not " deaf enough " because

she was born hearing and lost it in her right ear at age 8 due to a mastiod

operation and has a moderate loss in her other ear which is getting worse. Even

here in this lil county there is a very active Deaf population that really

doesn't want to have a thing to do with my kids. Well I and my kids say " To heck

with them ! "

Casey
