Rocket Sign Language Community

Hello everyone, my name is Jane Sutton and I’m a 47 year-old single mom with three daughters. I never imaged in my life that I would be learning Sign Language, especially at my age, but my teenage twins acquired a rare disorder that has left one of them deaf.
Like most teenagers, Meredith wants to belong, but now has to adjust to a radical new way of life. The twins and I attended some ASL classes at the community college, but I withdrew early on. I simply couldn’t keep up; my brain isn’t as spry as the girls.
I’ve decided to go ahead and get started on a new path to learning with this program. My expectations are to be better equipped in communicating with Meredith, as well as those in our local Deaf Community. It’s been a huge transition in our lives and I hope soon things we’ll start to go smoothly. While I’ve read a few posts, it doesn’t seem like there’s anyone else with a situation like mine. I would love to hear from someone with similar circumstances; it would make it seem like less of a challenge when there are other people like you. Thank you for your time, Jane.

Hi there,

you are right, you just never know what's around the corner in life. It sounds as though you have adjusted to the new situation well.
How old are your twins?
I hope people get in touch with you, having a support network is worth so much.
Good luck!
