I can only speak for domestic parental placement, for that is where I have experience.

In domestic parental placement adoption, what will be most important is that your physician(s) can certify that your medical conditions won't preclude your caring for a child and that both of you have a reasonable expectation of living long enough for a child to reach adulthood. That's it.

I suggest you also come up with detailed plans on what you'll do if, say, DH is alone with your child and has a siezure. Same thing with your condition. Your social worker will want to know and see it as evidence of your commitment to being parents.

Once you clear your homestudy, it will be a matter or finding prospective bparents who believe you're the best parents for their child. I've found that they care much more about who you are than what is 'wrong' with you. Who knows? Your child's biological family may also have a history of epilepsy and like that you both understand how to live as an epileptic.

Best of luck,
