Okla. Stat. tit. 10A, § 10A-2-2-802: Termination of parental rights

A. The finding that a child is delinquent or in need of

supervision shall not deprive the parents of the child of their

parental rights, but a court may terminate the rights of a parent to

a child for any reason authorized in the Oklahoma Children's Code.

The provision of the Oklahoma Children's Code shall govern

termination of parental rights.

B. Whenever parental rights of the parents of a child have been

terminated and the child is committed to the Office of Juvenile

Affairs, the Executive Director of the Office of Juvenile Affairs

shall serve as the legal guardian of the estate of the child, until

another guardian is legally appointed, for the purpose of preserving

the child's property rights, securing for the child any benefits to

which he may be entitled under social security programs, insurance,

claims against third parties, and otherwise, and receiving and

administering such funds or property for the care and education of

the child.
