I do not know to be frank but I would think you could get a child. I do know if you go to a site...Delilah radio dililah . com I think she has adopted a LOT of kids knows ALL about adopting and stuff she may know maybe email her..shes on the radio talks between shows and is way into adoption and kids, love and god stuff like that I know she will know..even CALL her 800 number Let us know too. I BET YOU CAN :)
> I did a search on this before I decided to post. Couldn't find anyone who said that they had successfully adopted with a diagnosis of depression.

> I'm extremely high-functioning with meds. (Have held down a full time job, completed a Masters Degree at a Big 10 University, etc.) Unfortunately, I take a med that can't be explained away with an alternative diagnosis (like saying PMS was the diagnosis for Prozac). I take Parnate and it is the best med for me.
