She and her hubby are really stressing about this, and I'm anxious to give her some good news. I just don't want to give her the WRONG good news, and then her find out later that I was completely off base.

They can probably call the department of Social Services in their state and speak to someone there. The courts have a minimum requirement that constitutes a 'satisfactory' home study - results of criminal and CPS reports are an element.
They could also talk with an experienced adoption attorney - one who would also know what's generally considered 'out' or 'in'.

Many thanks to everyone who's helping me...
