You attend a short hearing and the judge signs the final decree. We prepare your request to the Oklahoma State Department of Health Vital Records for the new birth certificate.
Oklahoma State Department of Health Vital RecordsDoes the other parent have to agree?
No. Courts want a two-parent home, and most families we help finish without the other parent's consent. In our experience, about 80% of the stepparent adoptions we have completed went forward without the other parent's consent.
They agree
If the other parent is willing, the process is simple. They sign a written consent that we prepare, and you file it with your petition.
- We prepare the consent form for you
- A child who is 12 or older also consents
- The judge reviews everything at your hearing
They won't sign, or can't be found
When the other parent will not sign or cannot be found, Oklahoma sets an abandonment period.
- Oklahoma's abandonment period is 12 months
- A parent who has abandoned the child for that long does not hold up the adoption
- Across all states, about 80% of the stepparent adoptions we have completed went forward without the other parent's consent
Notice to the other parent is a routine step, and we prepare it. In Oklahoma, termination of parental rights is a separate step from the adoption petition, and we prepare those papers too.
10 O.S. § 7505-4.2Oklahoma law gives you a clear route when the other parent has abandoned the child for 12 months. We have helped 1,193 Oklahoma families with their adoptions.
One flat fee, and no home study cost
A family in Oklahoma pays $349 for the complete document package, plus $99 for each additional child, and the clerk's filing fee.

Things have been crazy around here this summer, so it has taken me a little bit to write to all of you. I just wanted to let you know that we went to court on 06/27/2005 and the judge signed the adoption papers for my son and daughter. Thank you for all your help with the paperwork and getting us started on the road with our adoption.

Adopting an adult
Adopting an adult in Oklahoma
An adult may be adopted by any other adult, with court approval, if the court finds it is in the best interests of the people involved. The adoptee must consent, and so must the adopter's spouse, if there is one, in writing filed with the court. The petition is filed in the District Court of the county where the adopting adult lives, and a hearing is required. These cases often finish in 4-8 weeks.

What Oklahoma families ask us
How do I adopt my stepchild in Oklahoma?
You file a petition for adoption in the District Court in your county. Oklahoma has a 6-month residency requirement under 10 O.S. § 7502-1.2. No age minimum applies when your spouse is the child's parent (10 O.S. 7503-1.1). Most stepparent cases take 3-6 months.
Can I adopt my adult stepchild in Oklahoma?
Yes. Oklahoma lets one adult adopt another with court approval if the court finds it is in the best interests of the people involved (10 O.S. 7507-1.1). The adoptee consents, and your spouse consents in writing. A hearing is required. Many cases finish in 4-8 weeks.
How much does a stepparent adoption cost in Oklahoma?
Our complete package is $349, and each additional child is $99. The District Court clerk sets the filing fee, so call the clerk to confirm it. Oklahoma waives the home study for stepparents, so you have no home study fee.
What if the other parent refuses to sign or can't be found in Oklahoma?
You can still adopt. In our experience, about 80% of the stepparent adoptions we have completed went forward without the other parent's consent. Oklahoma sets a 12-month abandonment period (10 O.S. § 7505-4.2). We prepare the notice and the separate termination papers for you.
Does Oklahoma require a home study for a stepparent adoption?
Oklahoma waives the home study in stepparent adoptions under 10 O.S. § 7505-5.2(B). Your packet is built around that waiver, so there is no home visit to schedule. If your county clerk asks for anything extra, call us at (855) 924-0450.
Does my child have to agree to the adoption in Oklahoma?
A child who is 12 or older must consent under 10 O.S. § 7503-2.1. We prepare the child's consent form and include it in your packet. Younger children do not sign a consent.
Does child support end after a stepparent adoption in Oklahoma?
The other parent's duty to pay support going forward ends when the adoption is final. Support that is already past due is a separate matter under Oklahoma law.
Will my stepchild get a new birth certificate in Oklahoma?
Yes. After the judge signs the decree, a request goes to the Oklahoma State Department of Health Vital Records. We prepare that request as part of your packet.
