Fantastic parents. They really did well to provide for their son. They jumped in with both feet & never looked back. 😃
They did! We are so grateful. I cant imagine it any other way.
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm a mom of a deaf son and we are currently learning ASL as a family. It was awesome to see your mom signing so well! What she expressed about wanting to know your heart and dreams is exactly how I feel about my son :)
KEEP LEARNING! It may be tough sometimes because life is so busy but never give up! Your son will be forever grateful
I've heard that babies who learn ASL as their first language are able to communicate far more completely than those who only learn typical languages. So don't be surprised to have complex conversations with your child at 1 and 2 years old. 😆
Im so glad you are learning sign!!! Only 5-7% of hearing parents learn any form of sign for their deaf kids! 5%!!! Thats absolutely awful. Thank you for being a good parent

This was a WONDERFUL VIDEO! My mother had 8 children, in the mid 50's- late 60's. Four were born totally deaf. The other four became severely hearing impaired over time. My grandmother AND her two sisters were deaf. My son was born hearing, but by age 2, I knew something wasnt right. He needed hearing aids. By the time his HA's came in, they were not strong enough. His hearing loss was progressive, like mine.
Know this, back in the 60's the schools the deafies went to, tried to FORCE spoken language. What an abomination! Very little sign was ever used, in fact, it was discouraged! At home, we sort of had our own sign language. It was in ASL format. " I go store", along with body language , showing if it was a question, or a fact that had happened.
My son has no hearing now, but like Zack, never let it stop him. He is a successful boss where he works, in engineering and design of turbine airplane engines!
This is WAYYYY TOO LONG. I especially wanted to say that Zack, you have an incredible Mama! She is wonderful. Your mother in law is also a sweetheart. It has been great following you on RUclips and Instagram! God bless you and keep you. Always keep Him first! 🙏🏼☝🏼🙌🏼❤
RIGHT! The "best" method back then was Oral. It's crazy how people believed that and some still do.
Wow! You must be so proud. That is a great career!
Thanks for sharing :)
I welled up when I saw Zack's mom say, knowing her son probably wouldn't make it, that she quit her job because she wanted to spend as much time as she could with her son. This woman is beautiful.
WOW! I'm a father of a Deaf 15 year old boy and we went through the exact same experiences as your parents. Thanks for sharing
Wow. Of course, thanks for watching :)
What beautiful parents you have. Not all parents would of invited a interpreter to stay for a year to understand your language. I had tears in my eyes. That is the way it should be. Love to you
yeah I am very very lucky!
Wow Zach your mom is amazing! She really went all in to give you a good experience!
Yeah she is :)
That was good a bit too emotional it made me cry.
yes very emotional!
Lovely story! Wish more parents were as proactive with their deaf children too💕👏. thanks for sharing
Drives me crazy that doctors often think their patients are idiots, and 99% of them will never know how wrong they were. How many people left a physician's office with the doctor chuckling and rolling their eyes, and then that person died later that day, week, or month from lack of care... the doctor will never know what their lack of knowledge and arrogance did.
I really liked this video especially from your moms point of view. My parents just now started taking a sign language class that my friend teaches (she is an interpreter). I’m hard of hearing so I can hear if I wear my hearing aids and I can speak so my parents didn’t think they needed to learn it. I do have a few deaf friends who sign. But most of them wear cochlear implants. My fiancé is deaf and wears a cochlear implant too but not all the time anymore.
Why doesnt he use it all the time anymore?
Thats nice that your friend is teaching an ASL class :)
this was such a beautiful vlog!!! thanks for continuing to share your story. i am a hearing person who has taken some ASL classes in school, so I found it especially interesting to see you and your mom interacting about the importance of immersing one’s self in Deaf culture in order to better grasp the language. :)
awesome seeing how close you both are with each of your own families as well as each other’s!!
Thank you for watching and for taking ASL classes! That's great! We are both really close with our families :)
Kudos to your mother, she signs well and obviously cares so much for you!
Yes!!!
This is such a beautiful story about parents who were just willing to go the lengths for their son 🥺 the effort was so real, the love is so evident. I love this so much
Is it just me or does this video seem like fast-motion? 🤔
Steven Bowser Yes! I noticed that as well.
@@jerusalem4492 Glad there's a slow down playback feature for guys like me 😅
We sped it up just a notch since the signing was a bit slow, the video would have been almost 30 minutes. glad theres an option to slow it down :)
Man that's beautiful that they were so willing to do what was best for their son and so in tune with what he needed and it was so much better of an experience for him.
Its great your parents took the time to educate themselves!
Yeah it doesnt happen often!
Wow your mom is amazing for giving you all those resources as a young child . She must be really proud of herself and you. I love this and your mom, she seems soooo sweet!
Thanks 😊
Your mom is the sweetest! Such a wonderful lady!
Yeah she’s amazing
I was born with total hearing loss in my left ear due to what we assume was malnourishment. I was adopted at four months old and there is very little information in regards to my birth family. One thing that was evident was my birth mother probably tried to hide pregnancy and didn’t have good prenatal care. Hence why I was so sick as a baby and had so many health problems. I was only 3lbs when I was born as well and only 10 10 1/2lbs when I came stateside. Nothing can be done for my left ear but I do understand the idea of having to adapt to handle life. In school I always had to sit with my right ear towards what was going on so I could hear instructions properly. I have had to tell people often to not speak on my left side as I don’t hear anything. My parent’s likewise have been so loving and encouraging throughout all my learning disabilities and trying to help me excel to fullest potential. Very much believe that had I stayed in a Korea I would not have life I have today. Thankful my 20 month old daughter has been born healthy with no hearing issues. However whatever challenges she faces I want to be the type of mother that does her homework and makes sure she gets what she needs to live to her full potential without any restrictions due to not having resources she needs.
It was so beautiful 😭 it made me cry already!!
Awww haha thanks for watching :)
Wow what a wonderful story and wonderful parents! Thanks for sharing
Thanks
Wow, your mom's are amazing. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Great Channel! I love yall Videos! makes me smile... I am trying to learn how to sign.. newb
but I have coworkers who are deaf.. and I really want to communciate better
It was beautiful! It made me cry ;"(
awww :)
Does Nathan sign?
EDIT: Just watched the Holiday video and learned that Zach's parents, brother (Nathan) and 3 cousins all sign.
Yes he signs :)
Enjoyed watching this.I know some ASL from my Mom and books since she taught for the school for the deaf. I am in the process of looking into cochlear implants now.
Oh okay :)
Yeah. Where I live cochlea implants are quite common. And total communication is common too. I helped at a school for the deaf that did total communication and strongly encouraged the kids to be wearing hearing aides. Im not deaf and so i have no way to know what is best. Except to believe decisions in life are best made in a way that works for an individual and their family.
I need a tissue. Truly admirable story to share.
Aw thanks
They are amazing with Conversation 😍 It made me cry.
yeah they are! :) Very grateful!
@@OurSignedWorld 😌
Great topic and conversation!! I’m so glad you got to go to Gallaudet and have parents who wanted you to have the best life skills, Deaf culture, and wanted to be a part of your world. Awesome video! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks! We felt it was important to share :)
Thank you for sharing your story! I have a micropreemie as well (26 weeker), and I had forgotten her hearing test at the audiologist until watching this. Going through the NICU journey is intense, full of crazy decisions that save the baby's life now but come with long-term side effects. And yet, like Zach, it has become an integral part of her identity. 💕
yes exactly! thank you. I hope your daughter is okay
I love this!
I love seeing a new perspective on a story that some people had heard!
Zachary, your mother seems like the sweetest person in the whole universe!
Courtney, you mother seems super sweet, with a hint a saltiness to her and I love it!
❤️❤️❤️
I love watching your videos and am always extremely excited for the next ones😁
Aww you are so sweet! Denise, Zachs mom is truly a sweetheart. Timi, my mom is the best! I cant imagine life without her !
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing.
That was beautiful! You can see how much your mom loves you!
Thank you:)
To families willing.. you all are so lucky to have family willing to learn ASL for their kids, wives, husbands, cousins, friends. My family never wanted to learn because they said I always spoke so well . I didn’t learn about the deaf culture till after I graduated high school. I was not allowed to learn ASL K-12. I am so grateful the program no longer exists. ASL should not be taken away from deaf. It strips them of their culture and they lose a big part of who they are. I was born deaf and to this day my family still doesn’t know ASL. I wish they would have learned with me once I was able to learn myself. Zach and Courtney thank you for sharing!
This is so beautiful. I'm so happy that you had such an amazing mother who wanted what was best for you and immersed your family into Deaf Culture!
:) im very lucky
Your deaf and hearing sign language are jews ? I know . I don't tell. You and her love ? I am sorry... milo Ventimiglia and myself story relationship date talk fight ...
Zach, your mom is great. The fact that she learnt ASL for you was great. I am very impressed with her signing. I wish I could sign as well. Well I had 2 aneurysms at the age of 4 and a half, so I do everything with one side. But I still learnt sign language.
Wow, it's so nice n amazing.❤️ You are very lucky for you have nice parents, learn sign language community.🥺
Wow, What Amazing parents you have gotten to have-! All that deep love created an amazing & confident man!
This is such a beautiful testimony! Praise God for a persevering mum and dad!
😊
That was a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
What awesome parents, what an awesome son! I loved watching this story - thank you
I suggest blurring out there birthdate details including the signing. Those are sensitive details these days and can be used fraudulently
John and wife her deaf and hearing sign language jews ? As your and wife her hearing as hearing jews ?
🎉
I am happily overwhelmed at this 🌸
Aww thanks :)
That last bit between mother and son brought tears to my eyes.
Gotta get the tissues! hahah
A good mother can sign langagues.. His wife and mother help a lot.
He needs to love raising baby - experience his wife may help him...
Don't upset?
🥰🥰🥰
You two are suc a truly loving couple. It is a joy to watch your videos and follow you thru your adventures. Much love to you!!!
Aww thank you so much for your kind words and support :)
Just found this video!! So good!
Beautiful!! I loooove this video!! You have wonderful parents!! You’re lucky to have them as your parents. Thank you for sharing!! 🤟🏽🤟🏽
You have a lovely family. Thanks for sharing about the Ana Luisa jewelry, it's beautiful!
It seems weird to me that they couldn't just do immediate hearing testing. Obviously I've never had a deaf child, but if you have questions about puppy hearing (sorry, I'm a dog person), you can take them in for BAER testing, where they measure the brain's response to sound stimuli, and you have the answer in minutes. Seems crazy to me that the doctor didn't just hook him up and get an immediate answer! It's really frustrating how many doctors will tell you it's all in your head, and everything's fine. You live with that child, you KNOW when something is not right!
Anywho. Your mom is awesome, and a great storyteller! :)
Wow!!! What incredible parents! Love this so much!
i wish i could sign that fast! i have to think about what im saying and then sign it.
Those are nice earrings 😍
THANKS!
Denise is just the best!❤️
❤
What an awesome family.
I'm currently trying to learn ASL and your channel is so helpful! Thank you so much for making these videos!
Of course! Thanks for watching
I dont know what my mom was feeling or her thoughts on me being born deaf..hmm
You should ask her :)
