I went to your state's website and found this:
A history or arrest and/or felony conviction (no applicant can be licensed when the applicant has been convicted of a felony). In addition, certain misdemeanors will result in disqualification (i.e., domestic violence, lewdness, battery, or an offense identified in the Utah Criminal Code as offenses against the family, offenses against the person, pornography, prostitution, or any type of sexual offense).
This is a much stricter policy than our state, it looks like if you were actually convicted of a felony, that is an automatic bar. I'm really sorry, their restrictions seem very harsh and rigid. I believe it is often those of us who have gone through the most adversity and still overcome, with hearts that still want to give, that make some of the best foster and adoptive parents. If I were in your shoes, I would at least consider the possibility of moving to another state, but I know that is often not possible.
