In my opinion, lying by omission is still lying, and I would RUN from any agency that even hinted that you were to do so. After all, if they want you to lie to the other country in order to have a child placed with you, will they also advise the other country to lie to you in order to place a child with you? Wouldn't you want to know if the CHILD had a medical issue, even if the agency didn't consider it serious? I bet you'd be raising Cain if you found out items had been left off a child's medical report in an effort to make the child more acceptable to adoptive parents. But that street runs both ways.
I'd advise you to find an agency that can be up front and honest about whether the other country would accept your application if it were presented exactly as your health issues truly are. There are people with heart conditions and depression issues who have adopted successfully even while admitting their true health status - because the agencies were honest and professional and found countries or regions or workers who did not mind placing a child with that parent. An agency that works like that is the kind you want.
