and any consents required of such donor or such donor's physician by
Oklahoma law may be incorporated into the gestational agreement.

embryos in connection with a gestational carrier arrangement, any
consents otherwise required by Oklahoma law to be filed with a court
in connection with such donation may be filed with the court as part
of the petition to validate gestational agreement, regardless of
