Okla. Stat. tit. 43, § 43-561-203: Intent to abandon rights and responsibilities to

child.

A. Except as provided in subsection B of this section, a parent

or guardian of a child or an individual with whom a child has been

placed for adoption may not transfer custody of the child to another

person with the intent, at the time of the transfer, to abandon the

rights and responsibilities concerning the child.

B. A parent or guardian of a child or an individual with whom a

child has been placed for adoption may transfer custody of the child

to another person with the intent, at the time of the transfer, to

abandon the rights and responsibilities concerning the child only

through:

1. Adoption or guardianship;

2. A judicial award of custody;

3. Placement by or through a child-placing agency; or

4. Any other judicial or tribal action.

C. A person may not receive custody of a child or act as an

intermediary in a transfer of custody of a child, if the person

knows or reasonably should know the transfer violates the

requirements of subsection A of this section. Such prohibition does

not apply if the person, as soon as practicable after the transfer,

notifies the Department of Human Services or the appropriate law

enforcement entity of the transfer, or takes appropriate action to

establish custody under the requirements of subsection B of this

section.

D. A person in violation of this section shall, upon

conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor.

E. Violation of subsection A of this section is not established

solely because a parent or guardian who transfers custody of a child

does not regain custody.
