Welcome, Amy! Always good to see my students on here! Yes, the list is 
national. There may even be some international participants, I'm not sure.

> Hello to the Blind parent list. My name is Amy, and I have just joined 
> this list. I thought I would quickly introduce myself. I am currently 
> enrolled in one of the Parenting classes that Hadley School offers, the 
> first class, and my instructor, recommended that I join this list. I am 
> legally blind, with a rare form of RP, and my husband is sighted. We have 
> been married for 6 1/2 years, and are now seriously thinking about having 
> a baby. I was relieved to hear of such a list, as getting to meet other 
> blind parents feels like it will be rather rare and infrequent. I have 
> already gotten alot out of the first parenting class that Hadley offers. I 
> am looking forward to hopefully getting to network with other blind 
> parents, as  time passes on. I am 35, and my husband is 40. Let's put it 
> this way, his "body clock" has been ticking alot longer thhan mine has. We 
> have 2 dogs, they are almost 2 years old, we rescued them at 8 weeks old. 
> We love our pups, and hope that the transition with a new addition to the 
> family will go okay.
> We live in Connecticut, is this list national, I would assume that it is.
> To those responsible, thank you for enabling this opportunity, with this 
> list, and I look forward to its use in the near future.
> Sincerely,
> Amy
