: I'm curious too about Jonathan and Martha's rejection. What could possibly keep them from adopting a child? Is this something different from canon, or along the same lines?
Did they ever say in L&C canon? I know I've read at least one fic that had that with an arrest record for their involvement in the civil rights marches. I was thinking along the same lines. I will probably write it in when prepping it for the archive.
My take on this: I bet the Kents had some sort of misdemeanor charge thrown at them for this. So now, officially, they have "a record", and maybe a misdemeanor would prevent an adoption.

I can't see the authorities managing to pin a felony charge on the Kents for this.
No, it would definitely *not* be a felony charge. But a couple of misdemeanor charges could definitely throw a kink into adoption plans.
