Thanks for all the encouraging words! I'm so excited because my DH is really getting excited. At first, he was unsure. I am really beginning to think that this is meant to be!
As far as the ADA goes, yes it would be considered discrimination if they turned us down b/c of my visually impairment. So, I'm sure that would never be the stated reason. One of the hard lessons I've learned in my life is that people will find a way around ADA laws if that want to. Public access with a guide dog is a perfect example. The law clearly states that the dogs are allowed anywhere the public is allowed. We tried to stay at a hotel once and when they saw we had a guide dog, they said they had made a mistake and they were actually booked. So, there are ways to wiggle around the law if someone really wants to.
I didn't take Hurbie (my guide dog) with me to the info meeting at DFCS b/c I didn't want anyone to make any snap judgements about my abilities, or lack there of. Sometimes I can't figure people out... Do they think my 2 sons raised themselves??
