A. For a child in a voluntary foster care placement pursuant to an agreement between the parent, legal guardian or custodian of the child and the Developmental Disabilities Services Division of the Department of Human Services if the division determines that such child has been abandoned pursuant to the provisions of Section 1-4-904 of this title, such Division may complete a written report of recommendations to the Division of Children and Family Services within the Department. Such report shall specify that the child has been abandoned and shall recommend that the Division of Children and Family Services request the district attorney to file a petition alleging the child to be deprived. If the court determines that the child has been abandoned, reasonable efforts to provide for the return of the child to the child's own home shall not be required. Then the court shall conduct a permanency hearing within thirty (30) days of such determination pursuant to the provision of Section 1-4-811 of this title.
B. If the child is subsequently adjudicated deprived, the Developmental Disabilities Services Division and the Division of Children and Family Services shall cooperate and collaborate with regard to the welfare, health and safety of the child in a permanent placement pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Children's Code.
