Namechanged as there are elements of this that I don't want associating with my normal account.
Don't want to go in to full detail as it's bloody long but basically ttc is not going well and DP and I are starting to look in to adoption however I have read on the .gov page about adoption that you cannot adopt if an adult member of your family has committed a serious offence. Two of mine have. However I have had no contact with them for many years. Left when I was 18, got a degree, have a professional career, steady relationship, decent income and importantly I haven't seen my family in a long time. I realised at a very young age that they're not good people and so made it my sole aim to escape and build a better life and now I'm in a place where I could give a child a good home but I feel like my family have finally caught up with me and scuppered it.
Is there any chance that I could make a case as to why I would still be a good candidate? I just feel so heartbroken and bereft right now
