What I dont like is people implying that children will not thank their parents for bringing them up oral, like Jackies, when in fact they have access to sign as well.

Rathykay,
Nobody I know is ungratful that they have oral skills. It's mostly resentment that they could have had access to ASL and a full toolbox of communication options.
I am VERY happy I can hear and talk. But, I still wish that I'd had exposure to ASL as a young child. There's nothing wrong with oral skills...........just as long as parents ensure that the kid (s) also have early exposure to ASL and other options, like SEE and Cued Speech.
