It really depends on a few factors. Some of the most relevant factors would be the type of the offense (not just whether it was a misdeamonor or a felony, but also what the actual offense was for--e.g., an assault or child abuse claim would likely weigh heavily in favor against adoption certificatin whereas a drunk in public charge would likely be inconsequential); whether this is an international or domestic adoption (likely easier in a domestic adoption since international adoptions have a number of additional requirements); when the crime occurred and if there has been any criminal activity since; whether you are trying to adopt a family member (or some other type of kinship adoption) or whether you are trying to adopt a foster child that is in no way related or known to you beforehand. What is most important is to locate an adoption agency in your area that is willing to consider certifying a person with a record and then see what happens. Every adoption agency will run a federal background check and a check for child abuse reports so it is essential that you are honest and open with your social worker--any lie or omission will weigh heavily against certifying you as a prospective adoptive parent.
Having a criminal record is not enough to deny an adoption, but in the presence of other negative factors, or the absence of positive ones, it can result in the denial of an application.
Not leagally, people with a criminal record can't even adopt kids if they have a criminal record. The government believes that if you have a criminal record, you could be a danger to the U.S and as a result they won't even let you even in the airports.
