Bipolar and adopting

Hello, I have bipolar disorder and my husband and I want to adopt. I've read that my illness will preclude me from being able to adopt. Has anyone had any experience that could provide me with some hope? I am stable, happy, healthy on my meds and have been for almost 2 years. My psychiatrist is ready to give a good recommendation as well. If you have bipolar disorder or any other mental illness and have completed your adoption could you let me know your journey? A pm is fine as well. Thanks so much, Tia
