If you disclose this and the issues have been dealt with appropriately, it is not an automatic disqualifier. If, however, you choose not to disclose and it comes to light through a reference or some other manner, the social worker and/or the agency may deny you for not disclosing. There are very few reasons a social worker decline to recommend a family for adoption - failure to disclose is one (depending on the seriousness of the issue and the reason it was not disclosed), insufficient financial means (less than 125% of poverty level), previous history of child abuse or neglect (as a perpetrator), or a criminal history that could put a child a t risk would be the most common.
