Deaf Baby 'Sings' With Dad In ASL Goes Viral

This incredibly sweet video of New Jersey dad singing to Deaf daughter is going viral all over social media.

KEARNY, New Jersey -- A Deaf father from New Jersey has been garnering national attention for a video showing him signing the classic "If You're Happy And You Know It" for his clearly delighted Deaf daughter Bayleigh.

The 13-second video trended on YouTube and was picked up by the "Today" show website and People.com, among other outlets over the last week.

Kevin Nadrowski, who was born Deaf but who tells Today that his family "had no idea what to do with me," encourages hearing parents to learn American Sign Language and teach it to their children very early, which can increase the rate of verbal development and improves cognitive and emotional development.

"I feel great about it," Nadrowski tells People of the video. "Lots of people face challenges in life and hopefully through my video, they can say, 'If this deaf father can sing a song in American Sign Language with his Deaf daughter, the sky is not limited."

Nadrowski is separated from Bayleigh's mother Jessica Schwabe, but she tells People that Nadrowski "always brings out the best for Bayleigh ... Seeing this video is showing not only me, but the world, that they are an inspiration and their love only grows stronger with time."

#whyIsign Kickstarter Fundraiser Introduction

WATCH [CC] - #whyIsign Kickstarter fundraiser introduction by Brandon Kazen-Maddox.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The focus of this video is a #whyIsign Kickstarter fundraiser. This Kickstarter's goal is to create a brand-new ASL music video in collaboration with 13 Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, CODA and GODA artists.

The Kickstarter is set at $10,000 and 80% of the money raised will go directly back to the Deaf community to support Deaf-owned and operated businesses in the Bay Area. The remaining 20% will go towards the production of the ASL music video and to pay the Deaf artists for their work in this project.

We will launch the Kickstarter at the beginning of April and it will last for one month! The link will be posted here once the fundraiser is live.

Please share this video with as many individuals, groups, and organizations as you can so we can contribute to De'Via art and our Deaf community! Thank you!
