I'm really interested in finding out about this too. I haven't looked into it much yet, but I know there is a form about mental health that must be completed by a doctor and asks if you have ever been diagnosed or treated for a mental disorder, and if you have ever been hospitalized. I'm in Canada, so I don't know if it's different elsewhere. I have figured that I would not be accepted as an adoptive parent because of my mental health. They are pretty tough with how they screen adoptive parents, psychiatric records are just one of many screens. I would love to be able to adopt, because I want a child, but I worry that a pregnancy would destabilize me. Unfortunately my thought is that adoption is not an option for me. Please tell me if I am wrong.
