This is from the CCAA website on "Can foreigners subjected to criminal punishment adopt children from China?"
"Whether or not foreigners have any criminal punishment constitute an important part for judging whether the adoption applicants have acquired the ability to raise and educate the adoptees. In general, the CCAA shall not accept adoptive applications submitted by foreign adoption applicants who have been subjected to criminal punishment. However, in the light of the circumstances, consideration may be given to those who have committed minor offenses and have really shown repentance and no longer committed offenses and no longer committed offences ever since."
We are proof that they do adopt to somebody with a minor offense from many years ago (it has been 11 years). We did have to submit a letter of remorse with our dossier, though. However, I don't know if they plan on enforcing the same restrictions for NSN children in the future.
