Hi everybody
I hope to adopt one day. Is ADHD considered as a mental illness like bipolar disorder ?
(I can't get pregnent because of my deafness)

It is considered a mental illness. Some may debate it being an excuse for being lazy, but adhd is real.

you can adopt if you have ADHD or bipolar. It doesn't matter. As long as you can prove you are a fit parent. We had no problems adopting and I have ADHD.

I don't understand you can't conceive because of your deafness. Doesn't make sense but it's your personal situation. you don't have to tell me just confused.

If I get pregnent, I can lose my hearing ear because of the pregnancy's hormons
