[quote=Anonymous]We matched with an AP who seems like a perfect fit for our family and we recently connected on social media. Lots of cute photos and positive posts which all  have given more insight into her personality. I noticed she’s posted a lot about mental health (specifically depression) but it’s always positive saying their shouldn’t be stigma around it etc... which is fine. However, I did see a post (from 10 years ago when she was a teen) with a picture about Bipolar disorder with a comment that “this is me”.

She still seems wonderful but I don’t know if we are prepared to go down a road with someone who may have a more complicated mental disorder. There is nothing on her medical records indicating she had a history of issues and I did ask her if there was anything she wanted to share with related to mental health. I told her transparently, I noticed she posted a lot about mental health and wanted to know if there was anything we needed to be aware of to support her while she’s with us. She said her posts were more messages for a friend who was struggling vs them being about her. I did not address the bipolar post. Again, it was just a photo from when she was a teen but it’s just not sitting well with me? This is our first AP so I don’t know if I’m looking too much into this or a valid concern? [/quote]
