Okla. Stat. tit. 10A, § 10A-1-8-112: Private child-placing agencies – Objection to

placement of a child based on religious or moral convictions or

policies.

A. To the extent allowed by federal law, no private child-

placing agency shall be required to perform, assist, counsel,

recommend, consent to, refer, or participate in any placement of a

child for foster care or adoption when the proposed placement would

violate the agency's written religious or moral convictions or

policies.

B. The Department of Human Services shall not deny an

application for an initial license or renewal of a license or revoke

the license of a private child-placing agency because of the

agency's objection to performing, assisting, counseling,

recommending, consenting to, referring, or participating in a

placement that violates the agency's written religious or moral

convictions or policies.

C. A state or local government entity may not deny a private

child-placing agency any grant, contract, or participation in a

government program because of the agency's objection to performing,

assisting, counseling, recommending, consenting to, referring, or

participating in a placement that violates the agency's written

religious or moral convictions or policies.

D. Refusal of a private child-placing agency to perform,

assist, counsel, recommend, consent to, refer, or participate in a

placement that violates the agency's written religious or moral

convictions or policies shall not form the basis of a civil action.

E. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, a private

child-placing agency shall not refuse to perform any act otherwise

required by state or federal law, or authorize any act otherwise

prohibited by state or federal law. The provisions of this act

shall not be construed to allow a private child-placing agency to

refuse any services to a child in the custody of the Department.
