Okla. Stat. tit. 10A, § 10A-1-4-803: Placement of child in the custody of the Department

of Human Services.

If the court determines it would be in the best interests of a

child, the court may place the child in the legal custody of the

Department of Human Services. Whenever a child is in the custody of

the Department, the court shall not have the authority to order a

specific placement of the child but shall have the authority to

approve or disapprove a specific placement if it does not conform to

statutory requirements and the best interests of the child.
