This is only partly a question to ask on a world wide site. Your story is very local, as is foster parenting. Your story also needs far, far more details. All I can say is go for it.
I am a bit puzzled by anyone volunteering to spend 5 months in prison. Do you mean you took a plea deal?
Also, you put 'I was trying to become a foster parent' right in the middle of the arrest and prison stuff. You make it sound like you went to prison because you were just trying to be a foster parent. Did you agree to take care of someone's child without court involvement and get in trouble for that?

...told the court appointed lawyer at the time it was intrappment,...
This was 18 years ago? Now you are trying to do something? Why wasn't this brought up then?

Let me see, you were told that it was entrapment but you plead guilty to the crime for a plea deal to get 5 months

You can't do anything since you plead guilty at this point

You may get an attorney and see if you can get it expunged from your record.
