o_O wow, I'd imagine Braille to be one of the most popular things in blind ed

It's odd how she learned sign language and then had a deaf daughter, my sister started to learn how to sign and they I became deaf, maybe it's a nudge into the unknown lol My sister doesn't sign anymore though and has forgot the majority of what she learned, or I'd ask her to help me

There's a deaf woman who lives near me, and she has two hearing children, and they sign fluently to her but speak to others, I only see them from time to time and I can't speak to the mother properly so the children have to tell me what she says and then tell her what I say, when I become more...

True, you should always get several opinions, or ignore it all together lol I believe sometimes the doctors can't exactly predict fate

Ah, sorry, I class my family as my mothers side, and all of her family are hearing. My "dads" side however are all deaf from birth. He was told he couldn't have hearing kids, and I'm the result, the confusion is I was hearing at first. I can't speak to my "dads" side of the family, as I'm not...

I understand, honestly I'm not sure either, I might adopt when the time comes, I'll go through options later in life I'm sure

ASL / BSL mixed with English tend to confuse me, because the structures of the sentences are different, but I imagined you'd get used to it, I'll make sure to keep them seperate I'm glad you and your son can communicate at ease :) he sounds like a very smart 6 year old! Hehe

Ahh right I see, I'm sorry for asking, I was just curious Wow, you have a grown son? You look so young! Lol

Aww that is so sweet! :) I'm sure they're both lovely children, and I know you're right, I just worry too much, and as well as being able to cope I wouldn't want my child to go through the same type of things as me, but obviously I'd love the child reguardless, and you're right, when it happens...

Ahh, right! Thanks for the info :)

I had repettitive ear infections in both ears which is how I lost my hearing but the whole of my "dads" family are deaf from birth, so they ran some tests to try and find exactly why I went deaf when I did and I got no answer, I remember I had lots of hearing tests when I was growing up as my...

Oh, sorry, yes I think I mean your seondary school because your college is our University lol And ahh, I don't know the deaf schools over here, but I've always thought it'd be better to attend a main stream school as I don't know fluent BSL, I'm teaching myself at the minute, and I hope to...

Hii and thank you :)

Hmm..your hearing seems very specific. You know like you have different settings on hearing aids? The one where you can turn off the background noise, doesn't that help you rather than having to take it out? And that honestly sounds fantastic..although how long would it actually take for that...

Oh no, they didn't tell me I can't have children. They told me I can't have hearing children, they believe if I have children they'll be dead I have considered adoptiion though, if I'm ever ready for a child I'm sure I'd look into it to get more information :) And awww, that's so sweet...

Yep :( it sucks, it asks if you want to put your email in so that they can let you know if it ever becomes available in your country lol

Don't worry, I can't see myself having children for another near 10 years or so Thank you for sharing, that story is wonderful although I imagine it must be extremely frustating for you Can I ask you why you decided to not teach your sons to sign if you don't mind?

LOL aww, I've tried going mental on mine, it doesn't work, I think he just thinks I'm joining in with him or something :P

Aww, congratulations to your friend :) And true, I was just wondering really what it's like to raise a deaf child, I'm the only deaf person in my family so I can't really ask them

That's a good point lol, I just make things too complex in my mind I suppose :P I've always been a worrier I think if I had a hearing child I'd like to be able to speak orally with them although sometimes it might be best to sign, and I've always thought if I had a hearing child I'd teach...
