Absolutely, R2D2.  A need for belongingness and safety are very fundamental human needs.  We will do what we have to do and go where we have to go to get those needs fulfilled.  It is unfortunate that, at least in the U.S., many Deaf could only have those needs met within the Deaf community.  Even family could not provide a sense of belonging and safety for them.  Sad, isn't it?
