Buffalo, Can you try to think how I feel. In the beginning of our journey maybe about 15 years ago a Deaf person from the Deaf culture told me that I had no right raising my 2 deaf children, this was before we began our implant journey that I should give my children up for adopation to a Deaf family that would know how to raise my deaf babies. So I carry that with me as many of you carry your awful experiences in life. And so when you said that you wished all deaf babies were born to deaf parents it trigged my memory.
I love my children it doesn't matter to me that they are deaf. How dare someone tell me that I did not have the right to raise my children.
