That is not always the case, because most mothers want their baby to hear. If they do want their baby to be deaf, it is because they want their baby to be just like them, suffer like them, or understand the way their mother is. It may also be because she wants to be able to communicate well with her child, in sign language, as opposed to having a hearing child, who would have to use sign language to talk to her, and it might seem to her that she would feel more comfortable if the child were also deaf and didn't have to use sign language just because of her.

It is more of a feeling that you want your child to be like you: there is honesty in stating the fact. Many deaf people do not see an advantage to hearing; in fact there is quite a controversy over the collinear implant solution that would restore hearing for some deaf people. However, the child will have an advantage in learning sign language to communicate with her deaf parent. Having access to language as a toddler aids learning skills.
