Can people apply to become adopters if they have had an illness?
Applicants have a check up with their own doctor. Adoption can be stressful and people need to be physically able to do the job. Someone in remission after cancer or who has had a heart attack in the past could still be considered as an adopter. It is unlikely that we would proceed with an applicant with a serious mental health problem. We will always consider individual circumstances and conditions.
