   A. The courts of this state shall recognize a decree, judgment, or
   final order creating the relationship of parent and child by adoption,
   issued by a court or other governmental authority with appropriate
   jurisdiction in a foreign country or in another state or territory of
   the United States. The rights and obligations of the parties as to
   matters within the jurisdiction of this state shall be determined as
   though the decree, judgment, or final order were issued by a court of
   this state.
   
   B. A minor born outside of the United States may be adopted in
   Oklahoma if one or both of the petitioners for adoption are citizens
   of Oklahoma and the minor is residing in Oklahoma at the time the
   petition for adoption is filed.
   
   C. An adoptive parent of a minor adopted outside of the United States
   may petition to readopt the minor under Oklahoma law, if one or both
   of the petitioners are citizens of Oklahoma and the minor is residing
   in Oklahoma at the time the petition for adoption is filed.
   
   D. A proceeding to adopt or readopt a minor born outside of the United
   States shall proceed pursuant to the Oklahoma Adoption Code, with the
   following provisions:
   
   1. The court may grant a decree of adoption without requiring notice
   to the biological parent and without requiring the consent of the
   biological parent, if the petitioner files with the petition for
   adoption a copy of the decree of adoption or termination of parental
   rights granted by a judicial, administrative, or executive body of the
   country of origin, or a document or documents from such a governmental
   body stating that the biological parent has consented to the adoption,
   or stating that the parental rights of the biological parent of the
   minor have been terminated, or stating that the minor to be adopted
   has been relinquished by the biological parent or stating that the
   minor has been abandoned. Any document in a foreign language shall be
   translated into English by the Department of State or by a translator
   who shall certify the accuracy of the translation, and a copy of the
   translation and certification shall be filed with the court along with
   a copy of the original documents;
   
   2. If a minor born outside of the United States is in the legal
   custody of a child-placing agency at the time that the petition for
   adoption is filed, notice of the proceedings shall be given to the
   child-placing agency prior to the hearing on the petition, and the
   consent of the child-placing agency to the adoption shall be obtained
   pursuant to Section 9 of this act prior to the granting of the decree
   of adoption; and
   
   3. In a proceeding to readopt a minor previously adopted by a
   petitioner in a foreign country, the court may waive the issuance of
   an interlocutory decree of adoption and the waiting period of six (6)
   months provided in Sections 33 and 35 of this act, and grant a final
   decree of adoption, if:
   
   a. the minor has been in the home of petitioner for at least six (6)
   months prior to the filing of the petition for adoption, and
   
   b. a postplacement report has been submitted to the court.
