Fingerprints and Background Check
I am worried that an arrest that I had 20 years ago for shoplifting will negatively impact my home study. I was 19 yo at the time and I am a different person altogether now. Are my fears substantiated?
Thanks.

20 years ago? I don't think it will have any impact as long as you have stayed out of trouble since then. Luckily enough they do want humans to adopt, so realize most of us did make a few mistakes when we were young and dumb.

I doubt it will hurt you. My agency worked with a friend of mine who was arrested 7 years ago for possession of marijuana and him and his wife were able to adopt...twice! I think courts understand that when people are young they're stupid and as they get older they tend to grow wiser.
