This article describes of the quality of social participation in ten young adults aged between 25 and 35 years old who were raised by deaf parents. Individual interviews were conducted, during which respondents were invited to express themselves on three different periods of their lives, namely their entry into primary school, into secondary school and the current period. They shared perceptions of various life habits such as communication, responsibilities, interpersonal relationships, community life, education, employment and recreation. Results show that these young adults took on the role of interpreters very early in their childhood. Interpretation situations are diversified and the emotions related to these situations can either be negative or positive depending upon the period. Respondents spoke not only spoke of their difficulties, but also of the strengths that they acquired as a result of being raised by deaf parents, in various aspects of their lives. Results show that respondents feel a sense of belonging to the Deaf community when they are young, which tends to fade over time. However, some degree of ambivalence remains, some of them never feel at home either in the deaf or hearing world.
