I wonder if they would change their minds if many of us wrote to TLC. I would love to see a show like this on TV. I'm learning ASL so this would be such a valuable program for me and many of my other friends who are working hard to learn the language. I hope they'll reconsider!

Anyway, I am deaf parent of three hearing girls who is 12,14 and 17. They do wonderful for us as intrepter, and others but another side of us are not really happy among the hearing people. Since we are around them so they feel that we are something annoy to them. That's reason they do is avoiding, unable to commincate and back off. Thats why we have no hearing friends around our girls. Some Kodas and Codas has friends thru deaf parents. My parents are deaf but my husband parents are hearing but they are together fine to commincate but others don't. Depends on this situation.

They each had childhood diseases which left them deaf at ages 4 and 5 respectively. They went to the Ohio School for the Deaf in Columbus, Ohio. There they learned to sign, were taught a trade, seamstress and tailor, and made lifelong friends. They married and had one child, my mother. Mom learned to speak on her hands before she learned to talk. She became a county treasurer in her home town and was often asked to interpret fro the deaf especially in legal, medical or finacial area, as the jargon is so hard to understand. Also she interpreted at the deaf church. One she was asked to interpret for Billy Graham Crusades in Singapre. My grandparents were good citizens and loving parents. My grandfather whenever he would see someone begging because of a disability, would "chew them out" and tell them to work for a living and stop asking for welfare! I am much richer having these grandparents and my Mom. They were wonderful people and probably much more wonderful because they dealt positively with deafness. My grandparents were deaf.

I have several deaf people who have been helpful to helping me improve my sign language. I would love to see this show to help other hearing people understand some of the difficulties faced by deaf every day. I hope Marlee will have success in bringing this to the larger American public through television. But I guess we can't discount the power of the internet. I am hearing.

TV Network executive people I rather not call them management, should smarten up and wake up and watch My Deaf Family. That is uncalled for.

Mostly I'd like to tell Jared, hang in there...I got a mom like that too (1/2 smile) I enjoyed the concept and would love to watch this show…though it would be more of an impact ot see some of the things that they talk about occur in the show…difficulty of grandparents communicating with grandchildren…thw way people who work at businesses respond to this family…how do each of them attempt to overcome the communcation barrier?
