why did Oklahoma refuse to recognize the california judgment

Solution

As per full faith and credit clause, Oklahoma recognizes adoption including same sex couple adoption, that are validly decreed in other states. A California court in its own state under it\'s own law and regulations made a decision whether Jennifer Doel can adopt child E the decision is full and final. So, Oklahoma refused to recognize california judgement as the California court made it clear that if Oklahoma has no statute in providing the issuance of supplementary birth certificates for the adopted children, then the Doel could not invoke the Full Faith and Credit Clause in asking Oklahoma to prepare a new birth certificate. This is the main reason why Oklahoma refused.
