Person with disabilities wanting to adopt!?

Question

Hi, i just found out that i cant have kids and wanted to ask if even though i have disabilities such as epilepsy and immune system issues do you think i wiould be able to adopt? Also i live in the uk

Answer 1

I see no reason why you shouldn't be allowed to adopt, as long as you understand what you're getting into. When you go in to apply, be able to show that you have a support system in place: friends, relatives who can help, a doctor who is familiar with your medical condition(s), etc. That'll give you a leg up.

Answer 2

Check with adoption agency's there.  In the USA you can.  Best Wishes!

Answer 3

Unless it's contagious, I personally feel it's a great idea :]  Best of luck.

Answer 4

I hope you manage to adopt, or foster leading to adoption,  having a disability does not stop you from being a very good mother.

Answer 5

Absolutely you can adopt. Be beware, the adoption process is long and designed to discourage you. They will challenge you every step of the way. They want you to give up now - not after you adopt.

I know!  

Answer 6

Yes, you can adopt.  

Answer 7

Yes of course you can adopt - you cannot be discriminated against as it's against the law in the UK - Disibility Discrimination Act.

Good luck x
