I had been thinking I should alert you to this letter, but I'm glad you found it on your own. You say you are a world traveller ... have you ever been in touch with Mobility International USA? (<a href="http://www.miusa.org" rel="nofollow">www.miusa.org</a>) Among other things, they help people with disabilities figure out how they can get the most out of their international travel experience, and gain more access to opportunities for international travel. I don't know if they've specifically worked with Deaf Blind people before, but they've certainly worked with plenty of (signing) deaf people, and with plenty of blind people, and are comfortable working with people with a pretty wide range of disabilities.

I wouldn't change who I am, either. My deaf blindness has created who I am today - a fiesty, strong, friendly and curious. I am a world raveller and plan to conquer the world even if I don't have sight nor hearing. It's just knowing that I have people like my parents and my community to support me. Your daughter is a beautiful child, and will grow up to be an amazing woman because of the mother she has. Tactile love, Coco *goosebumps*
