You never know unless you ask. Call a local adoption agency. If he wasn't convicted and has received treatment, then he might be approved. The agency will probably require a counseling session or a letter from his former counselor stating that his issues were dealt with. If it was domestic violence, it could be a serious issue with an adoption agency even if there was no conviction. In some domestic violence cases the victim doesn't want to press charges or testify against the abuser. So, even without a conviction or trial, the adoption agency may be concerned.

THERE ARE EIGHT DIFFERENT WAYS YOUR CHILD CAN DIE ON A CORDED WINDOW TREATMENT
Read "How Safe Cords Kill" at www.pfwbs.org

THREE CHILDREN HAVE STRANGLED TO DEATH SINCE ANGEL DIED ON 8/11/09.
Brandyn Coppedge died on 9/11/09. Rosie Smith died on 9/30/09 and Thapelo Kwofie died on 11/1/09. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is no longer recommending safety kits. They are now recommending that anywhere children live or visit should be free of corded window products.
