This book should be mandatory reading for healthcare professionals, educators and everyone wanting to be a better disability ally.'-Carly Findlay OAM \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHow does a father who is blind take his child to the park? How is a mother with dwarfism treated when she walks her child down the street? How do Deaf parents know when their baby cries in the night? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhen writer and musician Eliza Hull was pregnant with her first child, like most parents-to-be she was a mix of excited and nervous. But as a person with a disability, there were added complexities. She wondered: Will the pregnancy be too hard? Will people judge me? Will I cope with the demands of parenting? More than 15 per cent of Australian households have a parent with a disability, yet their stories are rarely shared, their experiences almost never reflected in parenting literature. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn  We've Got This , twenty-five parents who identify as Deaf, disabled or chronically ill discuss the highs and lows of their parenting journeys and reveal that the greatest obstacles lie in other people's attitudes. The result is a moving, revelatory and empowering anthology. As Rebekah Taussig writes, 'Parenthood can tangle with grief and loss. Disability can include joy and abundance. And goddammit - disabled parents exist.' \u003cbr\u003eContributors include Jacinta Parsons, Kristy Forbes, Graeme Innes AM, Jessica Smith OAM, Jax Jacki Brown OAM, Nicole Lee, Elly May Barnes, Neangok Chair, Renay Barker-Mulholland, Micheline Lee and Shakira Hussein.  We've Got This  will appeal to readers of  Growing Up Disabled in Australia  and other titles in the Growing Up series. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e'Full of deep, beautiful, important stories.
