we're adopting...
The question does come up regarding your past, but basically to make sure you have dealt with it. So, if you have had counseling and the counselor deemed that you have dealt with it, that's what the SW will want to know. Not sure if they request the paperwork, bc we didn't have anything to report.
Our HS (homestudy) was very uneventful. Actually, both of our HSs, one being for our county's foster care. I was actually quite disappointed at how little they delved into our past and our hopes for a family.
On the other hand, only you know if this is something that still has any meaning in your life worth mentioning. But if you're going to feel like you're hiding something, it may come out afterall, and I don't know if they can refuse approving you for lying if they found out.
You may want to call a few agencies you're considering and anonymously ask how they view your circumstances.
good luck, whatever you decide!
