Thread: Can you adopt with criminal record?

I am encouraged by everyone's stories that it could be possible to adopt with a felony record. We have tried for years to have kids with no success. My husband has 1 felony and a few misdemenours from years ago. The felony is nothing to do with kids; it was a drug charge. Does he have to be off parole before we can proceed with trying to adopt?

I would call an agency be it a homestudy or adoption one and find out before paying any fees. Some agencies have application fees of up to $300.00 so you may be saving a bunch by asking the question ahead of time.

Goodluck and please keep us posted.
