I am a foster parent and I have adopted two children, both with very different needs. Rebecca has Ushers Syndrome 1. Jasmine has RAD (reactive attachment disorder). We adopted the children when they were 8 & 10. My husband and I believe we were called to care for these children. While they bring tremendous joy into our lives, we also face many challenges. I use this blog to talk about both.

Many parents don't know they carry the Usher gene and then when they have a d/Deaf or HOH child, they learn to adapt. But you knew about it and you researched this and opened your heart. Your journey as a mother to a Usher child will have its rewards.
Be your child's advocate. Educate hearing people. I can't remember what my parents did. They just talked to me, slowly and clearly, with some exaggerated lip movement when they had to.
For us, we weren't aware of Usher till we were in our 20s. You already have a wonderful support system on this list by asking questions to people who have been through similar situations.
God bless.
