You should consider consulting with an attorney who specializes in adoption law to determine your best course of action. Adoption is a legal process and an attorney experienced in this area could help you and advise you. An attorney in Michigan experienced in adoption law should be able to tell you if your husband's record will keep him from being approved in the homestudy process, to adopt a child. The American Academy of Adoption Attorneys, www.adoptionattorneys.org is a good resourse to locate such attorneys.
