    I don't see any other way to contact but I wanted to say that I also adopted my Daniel from China in 2002- he is 11 years old profoundly deaf and language delayed . Not sure if your tots are old enough for Skype yet but Daniel would love to "meet" other kids from China who share his language! You can contact me at Crozetmom@gmail.com!

    Where did you find the boys? We are a deaf family with two hearing children and we're considering adopting because I'm adopted myself.

    This is way too cute! I got involved in ASL about 2 years ago and love it! I have been teaching it to my niece and nephew and it is amazing how quick they pick up. Of course they use more of signs like "whatever, diarrhea, and cool”. My sister in law is not so pleased that I taught them “whatever” because they will say it and sign to her. :)

A Review: Maya Chan Beach Resort In Costa Maya, Mexico

Image
Maya Chan Beach Resort A Great Way to Spend a Port Day!  In a Nutshell Do yourself a favor and go.  Just go.  My bet is that you will not regret it.  It’s the relaxing day you may not have realized you needed.  The location is dreamy.  The staff are kind and attentive.  The owners have set it up to make it very comfortable and stress-free for the guests. Just go. Video Review in ASL Getting There and Back The walk is a bit of a trek, but the people at Maya Chan send you a very clear map and instructions.  If you look at Google Maps satellite or the picture below, you’ll see that the port dock is long.  Great for taking photos, though! We walked quickly through the maze of shops without stopping, following the instructions and photos from Maya Chan and found the spot with no problem.  They were waiting with a covered area and some seats while we signed a form, then got on the taxis to head over. You may read about the bumpy ride.  ...

2022 Year In Review

Image
  Ken and Sarah kicked off 2022 with a 25th anniversary cruise, then we bought a house after 10 years of renting in Austin!  We did some very “Austin-y” things by going to our first UT football game (Tian joined us and TJ, who has been to many games, was there, too!), and seeing Willie Nelson at a Beto rally. Tian (13) and Travis (14) started Mu Sool karate this year. In summer, they were pages with Jr.NAD ’s page program at the National Association of the Deaf biennial conference in Orlando, Florida, then traveled to Rochester, NY for a week of Tech Tigers Camp at NTID-RIT. Ken and Sarah stayed nearby at an AirBnB and visited Niagara Falls.  Both boys are halfway through 8th grade and will start high school next fall!! How is that possible?! TJ (19) started a new job at a water storage systems company. He worked 2 jobs all summer to buy a 1997 Corvette and has just enrolled for spring in the welding program at ACC.  Early this year, Kenzie (21) moved out to an a...

"Fixing" Our Boys

Image
"Are you going to fix his ear?" "Is there something that could help him hear?" "Did you know there's a great surgery that helps deaf people hear?" "If a surgical procedure would allow your paraplegic child to walk wouldn't you do it?" Being Deaf is unique compared to other differences such as being blind, unable to walk, having Down Syndrome.  It's historically been difficult, even for Deaf people, to pinpoint exactly how it's different.  I usually explain that the Deaf community shares a common language, norms, folklore, etc.; therefore they form a culture.  But it's more than that.  I think the real difference lies in acceptance. If parents have child with Down Syndrome, they must come to a point of acceptance .  They can't change the facts.  They are forced to accept what is  and give their child the tools needed to become successful in their life.  If parents have a child who is blind,...
