I have a little girl. She's two years old, and hearing. She signs as fluently as (I am told) she speaks, and in fact her first words were signed not spoken.
I try to talk with her as much as I can but in truth she understands me better when I sign.
But I'm nervous to say the least about the future. Parenting is tough enough as it is without being hearing impaired. If she was deaf, I think it would be easier.

There is also a network of parent organizations. There are scattered Kids of Deaf Adult organizations in Maryland, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Rochester, New York. (Children of Deaf Adults) provides a listing of these organizations. The groups provide social activities for hearing children of deaf parents as well as peer support for the parents.

I understand on you predicament with regards to parenting a hearing impaired daughter, I think as long as you know how to execute the sign languages for you to be able to communicate then its really not a problem, constant communication with her is the best you can do at the moment.

Parenting is hard when your child has an illness; it needs a lot of patience and sacrifices to care for a sick child. The only thing that a parent can do is make the child comfortable and assist him/her on his recovery from the illness make use of the resources, technologies that can help the child from surpassing from his/her illness.
