Adopting with a record?

I know this is a risk to post this in a public forum but I guess I am just hoping someone here will have information (and not criticism) for me....

My husband has a criminal record for a non-violent felony. Very stupid mistake that he is paying for. He is on probation now and will be for another 2 years. We had adopted several years before this all happened and very much want to adopt another child. I am sincere in my desire and in my request for help - I'm not a crack pot.

So, can anyone answer any of these questions:

1. Is it possible to adopt while on probation? Domestically? Internationally?

2. Is it possible to adopt AFTER the probation is over with a felony conviction on your record?

3. Are there any agencies that are willing to work with people in our situation?

4. When is the best time to try for another adoption?

Thanks in advance for your kindness and responses!
