Staff don't undo unfair blocks, that's up to the blocking admin. But if those blocks are unfair, or haven't been recent and you've been making good edits on other wikis ever since, then you can adopt. It's not anything like "I'm blocked = I can't adopt." If the blocks are fair and you recently got blocked because you did something, then you can't adopt at the moment. If staff check wikis you're blocked on and your behavior on those wikis isn't too inappropriate, then you can adopt. Like Merrystar said in her blog, if you got blocked two years ago for putting pages in the wrong categories but you've been doing fine ever since, those blocks don't get counted.

As for Life After People Wiki though, I don't think they would count that as a "fair" block.
