When Bonnie Brown was pregnant with her daughter, Myra, she says she felt a mix of joy and anxiety. "I hadn't ever been pregnant before," she says. "I never had really an idea of how to take care of a baby." Brown, who is intellectually disabled, works at Wendy's while raising Myra as a single mom.
