When a Newton family welcomed a baby who is deaf, 20 neighbors learned sign languageNEWTON — Something small and profound is happening here along the banks of the Charles River. It’s a love story. It’s a story of a little girl who’s deaf. It’s a story of neighbors who’ve raised their own children and are now embracing a beautiful 2-year-old named Samantha. It’s a story of 20 neighbors who sit in silence to learn a new language so their littlest neighbor will know what their kids have always known: Community. Friendship. Inclusion. “This child will always be a child of this neighborhood,’’ said Terry Nowak, who grew up and raised three children here. “We will all be participants in helping her as she grows. We do that with each other’s children. The community is already in place. This is just a new way to express it.’’ Complete article here: When a Newton family welcomed a baby who is deaf, 20 neighbors learned sign language
