And as a member of the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program, I've seen plenty of wonderful children who have come from families where one or both parents have been in jail at some point. They should not be written off because of the mistakes of their parents.

Bbro, keep your chin up and your eyes open. For now, you're doing what you feel is right, and that's honorable. Fight the good fight until you can't anymore, and when it's all said and done, you'll have no one to answer to but yourself.

Yeah, I admit, it's harsh. I also don't believe in third chances and it sounds like this guy has had quite a few more. Why would a (self described) caring person waste time on something like that when they can get someone better who will appreciate their caring nature?

Yes you can get good children from homes with a criminal in them but it is definitely the minority. They produce what they are.
