I'm not a religious person but your post made me think of the story of Moses. Born to a culture that he never felt like he belonged to. He just felt 'different' from the Egyptians. It was only when he discovered that he was a Jew did he *finally* understand his heritage and culture and embraced it. Like a light went on for him.
For me, I was the same. Once I found *my people* I knew I was home but I didn't know I was looking for them until I found them.
But you see, GrendelQ daughter has this beautiful advantage over Moses
than nobody denies her her culture, wich is Deaf Culture.
On the contrary, she is being 'delivered' into it, and herein lies the difference between her and the biblical Moses.
And in this, she doesn't have to 'discover' she is Deaf, she already knows
the Deaf culture, which is totally different set of circumstances
and thus allowed the Deaf experiences to be freely experienced and absorbed
