An uncontested adoption is one in which no other family or placement is trying to adopt the child rather than you. It means the child is currently placed with you and OKDHS has authorized you as the prospective adoptive placement.
Oklahoma Human Services Adoption Program
The Oklahoma Human Services Adoption Program provides legal services to adopting families free of charge. Our friendly and experienced attorneys represent families in uncontested adoptions of children in DHS custody. Since we are DHS employees ourselves, we are familiar with the way the Department is structured, so we can easily ascertain which workers we will need to contact to complete your adoption, as well as what has transpired in the child’s case so far. But please know, although we are attorneys employed by DHS, we represent you, the adoptive parent. While you are always free to choose whichever attorney you wish to finalize your adoption, we believe the DHS Adoption Program has so much to offer our families. Please reach out about our services—our attorneys can help you finalize your adoption quickly, smoothly, and properly!
For new clients wishing to retain us for legal representation, please complete our Parent Questionnaire and Representation Agreement.
