Default Question about Adoption and Background Checks - WARNING LONG!

To make the long story short, DH and I think that the best option for us will be the adoption route. We are pessimistic about this actually being able to happen though because of an embezzlement charge on DH record from 6.5 years ago. It's a long a drawn out story, but the basic version of it is that DH was a manager at a resturant and his asst was stealing mega-bucks from the company. I don't know all the specifics of it (we weren't together then) but as far as DH tells it, he wasn't invovled however b/c it was his store, he somehow got charged with it as well as the other guy because the police said he was "assisting". He never went to jail or anything like that. He had to pay back a percentage of the amount stolen and some fines. He was on probation for two years while he paid it back with no problems or incidents. Other then that, he has never been in trouble. He has 1 speeding ticket from 2 years ago, but thats it. Can anyone tell me how big of a problem this would be for a domestic adoption?

My guess would be that it depends on the agency.. and in the case of an open adoption the birth family. I would call around and ask some agencies.
