Chips Ahoy and
aboard All Deaf Chris and son! 
to AllDeaf forum. I hope you will get all the informations about raising your deaf son from us and get you to start on baby sign language so that he will be able to understand you and your family. Sign language is very important including the ASL to help us understand better than lipreading. It is the hearing that cause us to be frustrated trying to make out what hearing people say when we try reading lips. The lipreading is not accurate and get a lot of misunderstandings. So learn to sign and also get yourself into Deaf Culture. There might be some places where you can learn how to sign like colleges or Hearing Society for the Deaf or find in the phone book. Maybe you can google on the internet and find what you are looking for. Anyway, I hope you have fun with us reading and posting all the threads here.
