In France, the regime of accouchement sous X allows a woman can enter a hospital, give birth, and leave her child in the hands of the authorities without giving up informations on her identity. All hospital expenses will be paid by the social welfare service department. The women can request for psychological support from a social center, and no ID is needed and there is no special investigation related to the mother's background. The children born under X will then be the state's liability. When it comes to adoption of the children born under X, It is provided in the Civil Code and the Code de l'aide sociale et des familles(CASF). It has the following characteristics. First, France currently permits closed adoption. Thus, it is necessary to pass on information which will not identity the mother from the day of birth and give this information to the adoptive parents. Second, It was used to plenary adoption(which is an alternate form of adoption which terminates the relationship between birth parent and child) and institutionalized adoption. Third, not parents but a statutory guardian who has a right adoption consent on the Children born under X. This exactly mean anonymous adoption. Fourth, mother’s child born under X are given two months to think things over anonymous birth and adoption. At last, it is necessary to the expiration of a six-Month period in which the child temporarily placed with the children born under X. After the expiration of a six-Month period, giving birth under X could facilitate the child’s adoption and guarantee the stability of the link: removed from his roots, the adopted child can’t be claimed by his parents by blood; he will have only one single family, which of his adopting parents. It is to prevent these crisis about origins, which make a large number of adoptees suffer and sometimes endangers their relationship with their adoptive parents.
