Jodi, I have a few questions leading on from the above.

1. What did you study at uni?
criminal justice/

2. Were you born deaf or did the deafness occur later in life as a result/complication of something else?
I was 7 yrs old, got the mumps from some kids that were playing in our back yard,, lost it all when I woke up one morning,,

3. How did you adjust to living in a different country and a different language being a deaf person? I don't know how many people can sign in Holland but was it doubly hard to live in a new environment and not be able to hear people? How do you get on when you ask for something in the shops when alone?

Most of the shop keepers in my village know me and know I am deaf and a YANK,,, they go out of their way to speak English to me, and if they are not sure of a word,, they describe something to me then I give them the English word, I praise them when they use their English( weither or not i CAN hear them they are still tickled pink that I praised them ), sign language in Holland is not the same as American, ( neither is BSL ,, sign language is not UNIVERSAL ) The deaf people I have met are unfriendly any way,, so I do not make an effort to hang out with them,, tried so many times to make an effort,, so I stopped trying :-(
I was not offered the "free" DUTCH lessons like every new comer that moves to Holland, cos they just didn't know what to do with me, so I fell deep in the cracks, but I do have a perment residency permit,, can not apply for a Dutch passport cos I did not take the IMBURGERING ..
I have a wonderful female doctor, she speaks English.. we get on real well..I also have superb dentist too,, so I have been blessed to be in the right place and at the right time :-)

I can pretty much handle myself in Holland,I have only had one or two "minor incidents"..it didn't involve the LAW lol
Kim speaks English really well ( His mom is half Brit and Half Dutch)and knows some sign language,,,so our communication is covered LOL
