The Deaf Adoption News Service, a special interest group of the World Federation of the Deaf, has been around since it began with a handful of subscribers in early 1994. DANS is a text-only free listing service for waiting foreign and domestic deaf and severely hard of hearing children. That will encourage the agency to continue to identify waiting deaf children so that the waiting deaf children of the world will have a better chance at finding families. Also, if you do adopt one of the children or find out that a child on the list has already been adopted, please let me know so that the child can be promptly removed from the list. All that is needed is to e-mail me the child's sex, date of birth or approximate age, and region of origin.
First names are optional.
No photographs needed as I do not post them on this site. Descriptions of the child's hearing loss, how the child communicates, and the child's personality are also helpful. In addition, an Adobe PDF file about the DANS network is available. Earl , date of birth 1993, United States. Read description and follow contact instructions.
