I'm approaching my mid 30s and my partner and I have talked about having a baby. I'm getting to a point where I'm fairly stable, I also have a very supportive psychiatrist who said he would adjust my medicine during and after pregnancy so that I have a safe pregnancy. With the state the world is in we're both a bit hesitant to bring a new person in to the world. We're considering adoption, but after some research I found that adoption in my country is incredibly expensive and can take up to three years to get through the approval process and finally get a child. There's also a good chance we won't be eligible because of my BD. There's also the fear that one, I could pass my BD to our child, and two, I might be a bad mother because of it.

Any advice or general experience to share?
