A felony conviction should stop him from ever getting foster children.

I really have no clue, but i would guess it depends on the type of felony. If it was a serious thing, having to do with violence or a sex related crime im certain you might as well forget it. Maybe if it was something more of a non-violent related crime from years ago when he was much younger, something he has put well in his past and he has kept himself clean and out of trouble since then you might be able to. At least thats how i feel it should be. Just because someone did wrong when they were younger does not mean they cant turn out ok and a good role model in the long run.
Really, i have no idea though. Im just giving my opinion on how i feel it should be i guess.

depends on what the felony was for, when and what he has done with his life since. Many years ago my husband had a felony drunk driving, been sober since and a very productive member of society. After lots of red tape, we just got our foster to adopt license last month. Every state may have different rules though.

This answer varies between states, but here's some general criteria: It would depend on the charge, how old it is, and the circumstances surrounding the charge. For example, rape, murder, homicide, domestic violence, armed robbery-or basically any 1st degree charge will give him a problem. But there are some felonies that are 3rd, and 4th degree offenses. Example-Possession of paraphanalia [say, a marijuana pipe]-it's 4th degree and not so bad. But if he has possession with intent to distribute, espescially near a school, that's a problem. They will look at his record, examine his case, see how he's doing now, and make a determination.

I would ask myself the following questions...
1) How long ago did it happen? If it was on his juvenile record, you should be okay.
2) What was the nature of the offense? If it might indicate that he could harm or be a bad influence on a child, you might not be able to get a license.
3) How many convictions does he have? The more he has, the less likely you are to be able to get licensed.
If in doubt, you can call you local human services agency and ask them.

Sorry, but yes, if he was convicted of a felony it is impossible for him to get foster children.

you should check with the foster care facility and ask them what the requirements are-I know they do background checks. I would say NO, probably not able to , but best to check with someone who knows for certain.
