Adoptive Parents With Criminal Records

I am not shocked in the least, adoptive parents do not have to be the cream of the crop to be loving caring individuals, I think with criminal checks it is to safe gaurd against the real harsh ones, like sexual preditors killers ect. While I would not allow anyone with a heavy criminal record raise my children I dont believe that an adoptive parent should be ostirsized for a felony commited say in his teens early twenties.yet at the same time I am shocked because so many people put down a birthmother for these very things, stating they should never been allowed to have children, yet when someone is wanting to adopt their criminal records are stuffed under the rug. So yes it is shocking, but under their curcumstances (I read the thread) I dont believe that his criminal record should count. JMHO formerly a_mothers_love
