§ 10-557.18.
Donors may be parties to the agreement.
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 10. Children
A. Any one or more donors that will be supplying any gametes or
embryos in connection with a gestational carrier arrangement may be,
but are not required to be, a party to the gestational agreement,
and any consents required of such donor or such donor's physician by
Oklahoma law may be incorporated into the gestational agreement.
B. If one or more donors will be supplying any gametes or
embryos in connection with a gestational carrier arrangement, any
consents otherwise required by Oklahoma law to be filed with a court
in connection with such donation may be filed with the court as part
of the petition to validate gestational agreement, regardless of
whether or not such consents are part of the gestational agreement.
Filing such consents with the petition to validate shall be deemed
to be compliance with any filing requirements for such consents
otherwise required by Oklahoma law, including the provisions of
Sections 552 through 556, inclusive, of Title 10 of the Oklahoma
Statutes. If such consents are filed with the court as part of the
petition to validate, then validation of the gestational agreement
by the court shall satisfy any requirements otherwise set forth in
Oklahoma law for a judge's approval, execution or acknowledgment of
such consents.
C. This act shall not affect any other law regarding the
allowance or prohibition of compensation paid to any donor for that
donor's contribution of gametes or embryos.
