We've Got This: parenting with an intellectual disability

Single mother Amanda White, a mother with an intellectual disability, has twin girls. In the early years, Amanda was worried her children would be removed from her care. But with the support of her godmother, Margaret Spenser, Amanda has raised her children.

For Susan Arthur, another mother with an intellectual disability, the fight to keep her daughter within her care has been an uphill battle.
