or one can observe that they didn't feel that this is the type of community that they wanted their child to be a part of. We don't know if they then went out into their own community and connected to the Deaf Community there. One can also say they after reading negative comments they wanted more of a positive outlook for their child. Or even maybe Alldeaf is not as diverse as they wanted. There are other forums and areas where they can go and get a global view of CI/HA/cued speech/ASL.  Either way we do not have enough data to make that statement about the issue of their child's deafness. Just because it goes against your views or mine, does not mean that parent has that view. My mom saw my deafness even if I was mainstreamed.
