Okla. Stat. tit. 10, § 10-7504-1.2

A. Whenever the disclosure of medical and social history is

permitted under this section, all identifying information shall be

deleted from the copy of the report or record that is disclosed,

unless the court, Department, agency, attorney, or person authorized

to disclose information by this section has been informed in writing

by both a biological parent and an adoptive parent or prospective

adoptive parent of their mutual agreement to share identifying

information. When such an agreement has been made, identifying

information shall be released only to the extent specifically

permitted by the written agreement. When a minor is in the legal

custody of the Department, medical and social history may be

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 10. Children Page 329

disclosed to the prospective adoptive parent without any agreement

and without redacting identifying information when the prospective

adoptive parent is a kinship or relative caregiver for the minor, or

the minor has lived in the prospective adoptive parent's home for

twelve (12) or more months, unless the Department determines

redaction of such information is in the best interest of the child.

B. As early as practicable before the first meeting of the

prospective adoptive parent with a minor and before the prospective

adoptive parent accepts physical custody of the minor, the

Department or child-placing agency that is placing the minor for

adoption, or the attorney for the adoptive parent in a direct

placement adoption, or the person who is placing the minor for

adoption in a direct placement adoption in which the adoptive parent

is not represented by an attorney, shall furnish to the prospective

adoptive parent a copy of the medical and social history report,

containing all of the medical and social history information and

records regarding the minor reasonably available at that time. If

placement of the minor with the prospective adoptive parent does not

subsequently occur, the prospective adoptive parent shall return the

medical and social history report to the Department, agency,

attorney or other person who furnished it to the prospective

adoptive parent.

C. Before a hearing on the petition for adoption, the

Department or child-placing agency that placed the minor for

adoption, or the attorney for the adoptive parent in a direct

placement adoption, or the person who placed the minor for adoption

in a direct placement adoption in which the adoptive parent is

unrepresented, shall furnish to the adoptive parent a supplemental

written report containing information or records required by Section

7505-1.1 of this title, which was unavailable before the minor was

placed for adoption, but which becomes reasonably available to the

Department, agency, attorney, or person who placed the minor after

the placement.

D. A petition for adoption may not be granted until a copy of

the medical and social history report is filed with the court. If

the court finds that information or records required by Section

7505-1.1 of this title cannot be obtained by the reasonable efforts

of the Department or child-placing agency placing the minor, or by

the attorney for the adoptive parent in a direct placement adoption,

or by the person who placed the minor for adoption in a direct

placement adoption in which the adopted parent is unrepresented, the

court may accept the report and proceed with the adoption.

E. 1. Any additional information about an adopted person, the

adopted person's biological parents, or the adopted person's genetic

history that is submitted to the clerk of the district court that

issues the final decree of adoption, before or after the final

decree of adoption is issued, shall be made a part of the court's

permanent record of the adoption, pursuant to Section 7505-1.1 of

this title. No filing fee shall be charged for filing this

supplemental information with the court clerk.

proof of legal guardianship. No filing fee shall be charged for

filing this notification of address or guardianship with the court

clerk.

3. Upon filing with the court clerk supplemental information

concerning the biological parents or the adopted person's genetic

history, the court clerk shall send notice by ordinary mail, at the

most recent address, if any, listed in the court records, to the

adoptive parent or legal guardian of a minor adopted person or to

the adult adopted person. The notice shall state that supplemental

notice shall state that supplemental information has been received

and is available from the court clerk upon request.
