if you recieve treatment and are medically fit and are signed off by your doctor..you can adopt
if on te other hand..your depression comes to light ..and you are not being treated it is a different story.. remember social services, try and keep children with their parents..these parents can suffer many physical and mental health issues... so they are unlikely to stop you adopting if you are being treated for depression and looking after yourself.
