Adoption and medical history

SarahGMember

Question for you out there. My history is UC diagnosed at age 19, total colectomy with jpouch 2 step surgery at age 21, and ostomy reversal surgery.

Due to my scar tissue both my fallopian tubes are 100% blocked. Hubby and I have thought it over and are looking to adoption vs. IVF. I am scared that because of my past medical history it may deter me from adoption.

Have any of you dealt with this? The only issues I currently am dealing with are pouchitis intermittently and anemia with iron infusions 3-4 times per year. I also have been on celexa for the last 3 months for depression from the infertility. I envy my husbands whose medical history is squeaky clean.

Wondering how much to disclose and if any of you have been through a similar situation?

Thanks in advance!
