OK HB1748

Requires birth mothers to present valid identification and sign an affidavit describing financial needs and expected pregnancy expenses before court approval of any living or transportation expenses in adoptions.

Mandates birth mothers certify they will not accept birth-related expenses from more than one prospective adoptive family, preventing violations of Oklahoma's child trafficking laws (Sections 865-869 of Title 21).

Permits adoptive families to expend up to $1,000 plus housing and utility deposits without prior court approval; any additional living expenses require advance court authorization and must be supported by itemized receipts.

Establishes specific allowable adoption-related costs including attorney fees, medical expenses, counseling, agency fees, and living expenses (housing, utilities, food, transportation, childcare), while prohibiting recreational expenses and vehicle purchases.

Requires filing of a Disclosure Statement of Adoption-related Costs and Expenditures as a public record (with identifying information redacted) before the final adoption decree is issued.
