On the other hand, we don't know whether or not they returned her b/c the mom was pregnant, or b/c hearing aids/CIs didn't work.
I really honestly hope that if it's the latter, that the person's baby turns out to be a complete and utter shit behavorially, like that seen with FAS.
I really don't have any trouble believeing that a parent could do something like that. People are so beyond superfical......and some parents just want high acheiving superficically perfect kids.
Oh, well................if the deaf child is old enough they'll end up at a Res School, and help keep a res program open.
Oh, and I can understand returning a kid b/c they have VERY significent health issues (ie like so profound, they are medically fragile and have ten billion different problems) or returning a behavorially disordered kid..............but SHEESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
