About Us
The Adoption Choices of Oklahoma differenceAdoption Choices of Oklahoma networks on a local, regional, and national basis to communicate with expectant parents. The agency operates an ongoing, comprehensive and cost-apportionment program, which significantly reduces the waiting time from completed home study to placement. Adoption Choices of Oklahoma also works closely with adoptive families and expectant families who have matched outside of the agency. The Designated Program offers all the same services except for the outreach and cost-apportionment.
Adoption Choices of Oklahoma supports the concept of open adoption but also understands that individuals vary in the level of openness they are most comfortable with. Adoption Choices of Oklahoma works closely with the expectant families to determine their desires in adoption and then works to match with adoptive families open to the same type of contact. Adoption Choices of Oklahoma remains flexible in order to satisfy the requests and needs of expectant parents and adoptive parents. We understand that adoption is different for everyone.
We look forward to working with you as you set out on the journey of growing your family.

In this role, she made sure that birth parents and adoptive families feel respected during the adoption process, and she made sure everyone receives all the needed information.
