Okla. Stat. tit. 10, § 10-7505-5.2

A. If a preplacement home study is not waived by the court for

good cause shown or is not required by Section 7505-5.1 of this

title, the court, upon the filing of a petition for adoption, shall

order that a home study be made and filed with the court by the

designated investigator within the time fixed by the court, and in

no event more than sixty (60) days from the issuance of the order

for the home study, unless the time therefor is extended by the

court.

B. If the child to be adopted is the biological or adopted

child or immediate relative of the petitioners or of the spouse of

application, by order may waive the requirement in subsection A of

this section that a home study report be made, and the requirement

for a supplemental report set forth in subsection C of Section 7505-

interest of the child;

stepparent of the child, or the immediate relative of the child and

the spouse of the immediate relative who are petitioning for

adoption have been married for at least one (1) year with the child

who is to be adopted living in their home; provided, however, that

this provision shall not be construed as a prohibition against a

single, immediate relative from requesting waiver of a house study;

and

3. That the stepparent or immediate relative or spouse of the

immediate relative who is petitioning for adoption has no record of

conviction of a felony or conviction or adjudication in juvenile

court for child abuse or neglect or domestic violence, and there is

no record of a protective order or orders issued against the
