Hello!
My husband and I are hoping to adopt an infant or toddler from India. We are Canadian but I have OCI status with India.
One of the local adoption agencies here told us that India doesn't approve people with mental health diagnoses, even if their psych evaluation is good. Does anyone know if this is true or have experience with this?
A little bit about me - I've been on a very mild dose of antidepressants for 7 years now as a result of a depressive episode in 2014. I've not had an episode since them and my mental health is extremely stable. I see a therapist but that is to be proactive with taking care of my mental health, rather than to address any pressing issues. I think both my doctor and therapist would give me a positive evaluation and we are working on a plan to get me off the pills.
If anyone has any insight on this, we would appreciate it greatly.
Thanks so much in advance for your help!
