Is this all still current and law in OK? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

To verify if the specific information you listed regarding adoption laws in Oklahoma is still current, you need to consult an adoption attorney in your area. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services may be able to give you a list of licensed adoption providers, if you do not know one. The phone number we have for ODHS is 405-521-2475. The RESOLVE chapter in Oklahoma City will also know some local adoption providers that can verify current local laws. They are at P.O. Box 18151 Oklahoma City, OK, 73154, phone: (405)949-8857.

Best wishes with your adoption plan.

Regards,
Kathleen
