I am late responding as things have been crazy at my house. Because my husband is hoh we looked into adopting a deaf child. (Lillian's photo is in my prayer journal as we considered her, but she was meant to be yours!) You mikght PM whit, because Lillian came from an orphanage for the deaf and they have many children available for adoption and they teach them ASL in that orphanage. I also was looking for a child with a specific disabliltiy. I now have two kids with limb differences so my next child will probably have limb differences too. My method will be, when we are ready to contact several large agencies letting them know of my interest. They will let me know if they do or do not currently hae waiting children of this type. Also I searched websites like rainbow kids and some other ones. By the time you are ready to adopt there will probably be many more resources available. Most countries will not allow you to adopt until you are 25. The US government requires a certain level of financial security as well. Good luck with your search and stick around.
