    Default Will My Solicitation of Prostitution Arrest Stop My Ability to Adopt One Day

    My question involves adoption law for the State of: California

    A few years ago I made a huge mistake - at a "massage parlor" I asked for something from an undercover cop. I was arrested, spent the night in jail, and was put on a probation. As I understand it, I was to stay out of trouble for a year and the case would be dismissed. I did, and it was. It will never, never, happen again. Now my wife and I have been discussing to possibility of adoption in the future. She doesn't know about this terribly embarrassing chapter in my life, almost no one does in fact. So two questions:

    1. Will I be able to adopt a child sometime in the next 5 - 10 years and...

    2. Will I have to jump through legal hoops that may result in this terrible skeleton in my closet to be revealed to my wife or anyone else for that matter.

    Thank you very much for your time and consideration in this personal matter.

    1. Depends. Would you be pursuing a domestic adoption? International? Private? Agency?

    2. Your wife needs to know - period.
