I am not deaf, nor do I know anyone who is deaf, but I am hoping it is okay to ask for some assistance on this forum. I am writing a novel and although it is fiction, I would like for it to be as accurate as possible. The characters in my book adopt a baby who is deaf and they all begin learning sign language. It is kind of a long story, but the child is Latino and will be raised bilingually - learniing both Spanish and English. They move from Mexico to the US with her when she is about a year old.
I would appreciate very much if anyone would be willing to correspond with me to help me by answering some general questions about Mexico/Spanish/Sign Language usage in the United States...ASL vs. International, etc. This part of the story is somewhat limited, so hopefully I won't be taking up too much of your time. Thank you so much!
