A mother's hearing status can influence her motherhood experience, particularly when the mother is Deaf, and the children are Deaf or hearing. The study aims to describe and interpret the Deaf mothers' experience raising Deaf and hearing children. The study employed a narrative research design with three Saudi Arabia Deaf mothers of Deaf and hearing children. Data were analyzed using Clandinin and Connelly's (2000) three-dimensional narrative inquiry approach and content analysis. Seven themes emerged in their narratives: desire for a Deaf child, hearing child speech and language development, family support in raising the children, navigating the hearing community, role modeling and resilience, parenting style, and audism. The findings revealed implications that cut across disciplines, including Deaf studies, disability studies, gender studies, and speech and hearing sciences.
