I want to go back and tell you to keep that smile, to keep trusting people even though they will hurt you, to know that even after the state took you away from your Deaf mother 3 times, placed you in abusive foster care, tried to place you for adoption...the abuse and emotional hurt will linger but you will use that to tell stories that help and heal others.
To all my deaf parents who have had their children taken away by the system and no interpreter provided - sorry.
I was taken away from my deaf parents for a year (my 5th grade year) and placed in an abusive foster home just because my parents started discussing 'divorce'. No interpreter provided...they just came and took me (1979).
