Frequently Asked Questions About Adoption
What is the difference between open and closed adoptions in Oklahoma?
In Oklahoma, an open adoption allows for some form of communication or contact between the birth parents and the adoptive family, which can range from letters and photos to in-person visits. On the other hand, closed adoptions refer to no contact between these parties or the exchange of any identifying information post-adoption. The choice between these types is made between the adoptive and birth parents.
How long does the adoption process typically take in Oklahoma?
The duration of the adoption process in Oklahoma varies based on the type of adoption. Private adoptions can take a few months to a year, while agency adoptions might take longer due to the matching process. Legal requirements, paperwork, and court schedules can also influence the timeline.
Can same-sex couples adopt in Oklahoma?
Yes, same-sex couples in Oklahoma have a legal right to adopt. Yarborough Law Group supports all families — including LGBTQ+ couples — in navigating the adoption process, ensuring they receive fair and equal treatment under the law.
What are the legal requirements for stepparent adoptions in Oklahoma?
For a stepparent to adopt in Oklahoma, the non-custodial parent must either relinquish their parental rights or have their rights terminated by the court. The process may also include a home study, background checks, and legal filings. Yarborough Law Group assists stepparents in understanding and fulfilling these requirements.
