Hello everyone. I have been signing since I was 12...and I am now 24, almost 25. I am an interpreter and had dreams to become a teacher for the deaf...but where I live, most of the students who are deaf go to public schools and are involved in "normal" classroom settings with an interpreter. So...I now am an office manager and sign occasionally for the doctor's offices around here or at church.
I recently got married. He is wonderful and we are planning on becoming foster parents. He is the first person that I have ever been with that followed my vision of being a foster parent. With my ability to sign, and his eagerness to learn more signs, we want to foster children who are deaf. I am not sure if there is a dire need for foster parents for children who are deaf, but I am starting the path today...getting information and such.
So I hope to see each of you around the site sometime. And sorry I am so long winded today....its been a long one!
