What if I have health problems or a disability?

Many adoption agencies will insist that you are in reasonably good mental and physical health. It is unlikely you will be approved if you have a life-threatening condition that may mean you will not be able to see the child through to adulthood.

The younger the child you want to adopt, the better health you will be expected to have.
Disabled people are not specifically prevented from becoming adopters as long as they can offer the right care and support to an adopted child. Obviously agencies have to consider how a disability will affect a person's ability to care for a child.
