The following documents will be needed in order to complete your application
with our office. Many of these documents will have already been
obtained by your home study professional. You may need to contact
them and request that they attach those documents to your home study,
or provide you or us with copies. Your home study, medical exam,
three letters of reference and background checks must have been
completed within one year of your pending adoption. Otherwise, you
must also provide our agency with a home study update and updated
documents listed above. Please note that Oklahoma law requires that
you have a face-to-face meeting for your updated home study, and
that your reference letters, medical exam and criminal background
checks also be updated at that time.
