Article 7   Adult Adoptions

10 O.S. 7507-1.1 .
An adult person may be adopted by any other adult person, with the consent of
the person to be adopted or his guardian, if the court shall approve, and
with the consent of the spouse, if any, of an adoptive parent, filed in
writing with the court. The provisions of Sections 9 through 36 of this act
shall not apply to the adoption of a competent adult person. A petition
therefore shall be filed with the district court in the county where the
adoptive parents reside. After a hearing on the petition and after such
investigation as the court deems advisable, if the court finds that it is to
the best interests of the people involved, a decree of adoption may be
entered which shall have the legal consequences stated in Section 37 of this
act.
