State
and Local Resources on Adoption
-
Adoption Services -
Children who are available for adoption through
the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS) have been
removed from their own families because of abuse,
neglect or other family problems that make it unsafe for
the child to live at home. If the child’s parents
can’t correct the problems to make their home safe,
then adoption with a new family usually becomes the
goal. The children are of all races, most are school
aged. They may have physical, developmental or emotional
problems or have brothers and sisters that need to be
placed in the same adoptive home. Adoption subsidy is
available for most children to help with the financial
costs of their special needs.
