My wife and I are just beginning to explore the adoption process as we near the deciding point, IVF vs. Adoption. One of the concerns I have is in regards to our history. One of us has a personal history of being a victim of sexual abuse as a child and we've heard that this can be a stumbling block in the process. Neither of us has any criminal history and we're upstanding middle class type folks with a solid relationship with each other and those around us. We want to, obvisouly, be honest throughout the process, but we also don't want to jeopardize our chances of adoption just because we were the victim of a crime nearly 30 years ago. Does this even come up? What's the story? Does anyone know? Thanks!!
