I went down to DSS. I switched over to them from another company because the other company said no access to interpreters. (i am Deaf). DSS still no interpreter. They said next time they will have one. I was very frustrated but at least everything is in. I did orientation. I need a letter feom them to section 8 so i can move to a 2 bedroom.

But seriously how does the government not get ADA?

I emailed the foster care social worker relying to his message. I am in the beginning stages and I am moving in March. He asked me about that. I asked him some questions and he did not reply. I waited a week and emailed him again a follow up.

I do not want to be a peat and hound him. How long is it normal to wait for replies? Are they usually slow?

I hope this is not a dumb question I just do not know.

Thank you.

I was waiting for the elevator today and someone in my building was apparently trying to talk to me. I have told her and others I am Deaf so if I don’t respond that is why. I didn’t know she was talking to me. And the I did get her telling me “You’re retarded.” I know she is wrong but it still hurt.

I have just started the process to foster to adopt. I am Deaf and will adopt a deaf child. As of right now I am thinking up to age 7. I do not mind going higher but I am concerned about bonding. Those of you who have adopted older than 7 how was the bonding? Thank you.

They keep saying “Oh no you can’t hear. I am so sorry.” Don’t be sorry. I am proud to be Deaf and not sorry.

If you could talk to a talent agent what questions would you ask them about what they do, etc?
