Hi, I'm new here, we are about to become foster careers to my niece and just been given the last lots of paperwork to fill in, in all the meetings we have never been asked about parts of our past, other than criminal convictions which neither of us have ever had, but when my husband was in his late teens and early 20's he used drugs, any that were going and yes the really bad stuff, he barely even touches aspirin nowadays and would never touch anything illegal again and has been clean for about 13 years, is this likely to effect our chances, I've know about his past since we met 11 years ago, we now have 4 children, our own home and he is self employed with a successful business.
One of the questions on the blue form is do you or have you ever.......... Now we don't want to lie, but we would be truly devastated if his past mistakes will ruin a brilliant future for my niece, anyone got any idea?
