Fostering qualifications vary from country to country and in locations such as the US, can very based upon state and even county. In general, an individual taking an antidepressant would not necessarily, preclude an applicant from being considered for fostering. In the first instance, the applicant would better be able to address such a question by providing a formal letter from the physician who prescribed the antidepressant, stating their professional opinion as to whether the taking of said medication is crucial towards the dynamic which is being sought by the governing authority. In fact, it may even be an element which the fostering authority would consider helpful, such as when receiving a foster child who has had a history of depression. The fact that the applicant has first-hand understanding of depression and the impact it can have on every-day life may provide a higher level of empathy with the foster child.
If you're considering fostering, ask your local fostering agency for a guideline booklet regarding qualifications and expectations before mentioning anything about your personal and private life. You will be able to read their stated qualifiers and conditions even before making an application.

How do you spell fallsterhomes?
The phrase made up of two words is spelled "foster home". To foster means to take in, to care for, to look after. In human life, to foster a child means that an adult or two adults take in a child to care and provide guidance to the child in place of the child's parents. "Foster homes" used to simply be called "children's homes" in the late 1800s to early 1900s. These "children's homes" were often caring for as many children as could fit into one private residence (house). Slowly, the concept of a "foster home" became more of one home with two adults caring for one or several children. Foster parents had to apply with the State where they resided in order to take in children, and the State sets limits on how many "foster children" can be raised in one "foster home" with a "foster parent" (or plural, two foster parents). At first, only married couples could be foster parents, but now many single adults assume the foster parent role. In exchange for providing "foster care", the adult(s) are paid a set sum of money per each child under their care.
