Okla. Stat. tit. 10, § 10-7503-2.5

relinquishment before judge - Affidavit of nondisclosure.

A. At the time that a written consent to adoption or permanent

relinquishment is acknowledged by a biological parent before a judge

of a court of this state, the judge shall advise the biological

parent:

1. That an adult adopted person born in the State of Oklahoma

whose decree of adoption is finalized after November 1, 1997, may

obtain such person's original certificate of birth;

2. That, if affidavits of nondisclosure have been filed by both

biological parents and have not been revoked by either biological

parent at the time that the request for the original birth

certificate is made by the adult adopted person, the original birth

certificate will not be released to the adult adopted person; and

3. That if an unrevoked affidavit of nondisclosure by only one

biological parent is on file with the State Registrar of Vital

Statistics at the time that the request for the original birth

certificate is made by the adult adopted person, identifying

information regarding the parent who filed the unrevoked affidavit

of nondisclosure will be deleted from the original birth certificate

before it is provided to the adult adopted person. The identity of

the parent who does not have an unrevoked affidavit of nondisclosure

on file, if it is contained in the original birth certificate, will

be disclosed.

B. 1. The judge shall ascertain whether the biological parent

wishes to execute an affidavit of nondisclosure. If so, an

affidavit of nondisclosure form shall be made available to the

biological parent by the court and may be executed in the presence

of the judge at the time the written consent to adoption or

relinquishment for adoption is acknowledged.

2. An affidavit of nondisclosure signed at the time a consent

or relinquishment is acknowledged shall be filed in the adoption

action with the consent or relinquishment for adoption.

3. Affidavit of nondisclosure forms shall also be available in

each district court clerk's office and may be executed and filed by

a biological parent in the court in which an adoption action is

pending.

4. An affidavit of nondisclosure may be filed after a final

decree of adoption has been entered.

C. A biological parent who has executed an affidavit of

nondisclosure may revoke the affidavit of nondisclosure at any time

by filing a revocation with the State Registrar of Vital Statistics.

Upon receipt of a revocation of an affidavit of nondisclosure, the

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 10. Children Page 316

State Registrar shall attach the revocation to the affidavit of

nondisclosure and file it with the original certificate of birth and

other records of the adoption.

D. The failure to follow any provisions of this section shall

not be grounds to challenge a decree of adoption.
