Ok some time I am really curious about how the adoption is done when a Deaf person wants to adopt a child, be the child hearing, HOH, or Deaf? I know when adopting you have to go through so many test and background check just make sure you are a safe responsible adult. One particular inspection is the home inspection? As a Deaf person do you have to have and interpreter present at this time? If so how would their interpreting help? What would you want them to do? Are there other times in the process when an interpreter is needed? I would really like to know how much involvement the interpreter has in the process. Do they usually use the same interpreter for each part of the adoption process?
