Ok Cheri..no problem.

Just I am a little senstive about the subject of hearing children's delayed spoken language due to the parents' deafness. In the past year, I have had people (not on AD) tell me that my son's spoken language is delayed cuz I am deaf and that I shud not be signing to him and shud be using my voice only. They don't even bother to ask if I use only ASL with him or not. Whatever happened to asking first before making assumptions. LOL.
