A child who has two deaf parents is often referred to as a CODA, which stands for Child of Deaf Adults. These children typically grow up in a bilingual environment, learning both sign language and spoken language.
A school that accepts hearing pupils but has the facilities to accomodate deaf pupils
The term CODA is an acronym or initialism, respectively. It stands for either "CHILD OF DEAF ADULT" in the singular sense, or "CHILDREN OF DEAF ADULTS" in the plural sense.... ...and is also equivocal contextually to CHILD OF DEAF ADULTS, or CHILDREN WITH A DEAF PARENT. There are two ways to sign this: By finger-spelling, or by signing: CHILD {O-F} ADULT DEAF
A mainstream program for the Deaf is when instead of Deaf children going to all-Deaf schools, they go to a nearby public school using sign language interpreters, note-takers, speech therapy lessons, etc. Sometimes public schools have what's called a 'resource room', in which Deaf students in the mainstream program can go to this room, which is focussed and centered on the Deaf so that if they are not able to take say, a Science class out in the mainstream/regular classes, they can take a science course in the Deaf resource room which will be in either all sign language, or using special microphones with headphones and/or hearing aids, etc. Also, there are other Deaf within these resource rooms, which allows for easier communication between others who know sign language. Hope this helps. :-)
Yes he does. The reason is that when he was a child he had polio which left him with a deaf ear and a slightly twisted mouth.

Both his mother and his wife were deaf. His father was not deaf.
Yes, it is perfectly okay for a lesbian couple, or any couple, to have a deaf baby. Having a deaf child does not affect a same-sex couple's ability to be loving and supportive parents. It is important to create an inclusive and accepting environment for the child, regardless of their abilities or identity.

Most people would claim that approximately 10% of Deaf people have Deaf parents Schein (1989). However, more recent surveys have found that approximately 4.4% of deaf and hard of hearing children and youth come from families with deaf parent (Mitchell & Karchmer, 2002).
In general, he doesn't. The reason being because he is deaf.
