My boyfriend has a felony, can we still adopt a child?
A person with a felony conviction will probably not be allowed to adopt, but it is difficult to answer this question without knowing what the felony is for. Anyone convicted of a felony that involved violence will probably be prohibited from adopting, but even nonviolent property crimes can keep someone from adopting.
If you are interested in adopting, I would talk to an adoption agency or adoption attorney in the state where you live.
