If you wish to give birth under X, you must notify the medical team of the health facility of your choice (hospital or clinic, contracted or not).

No ID can be requested. No investigation can be carried out. So you keep the secret of his admission.

The medical team provides you with the following information so that your decision can be made enlightened manner :

• Consequences of abandoning the child
• Choice of whether or not to give his identity and/or information concerning him or her or concerning the origins of the child in a closed envelope (for example, on his or her health and that of the father, the circumstances of his or her birth). The closed letter shall be kept by the President of the Department's departments.
• Financial aid to raise the child
• Regime of guardianship of State wards that will apply to the child
• Time limits and conditions under which the child may be taken over by his parents

You can contact the department's services.

Your child is handed over to Asia.

A report shall be drawn up. It mentions your possible consent to the adoption. If you wish, it also contains all information concerning the health, the origins of your child, the reasons and the circumstances of his/her surrender to Asia.

From that moment on, the child no longer has parentage. The child is declared ward of government on a provisional basis on the date on which the minutes are drawn up.

A specific guardianship is then organized by the prefect (who exercises the functions of guardian) and the State wards family council to protect the child.

The child is then placed in a nursery or near a host family for a transitional period.

You have a deadline of 2 months to reconsider your decision and recognize your child. The abandonment therefore remains temporary during this period.

During this period, the child is not adoptable.

However, if you reconsider your decision, you are offered an accompaniment by the department's services for the 3 years following the return of your child.

The purpose of this follow-up is to restore the relationships necessary for the physical and psychological development of the child, and to ensure his or her emotional stability.

After this period of 2 months, if you have not returned to pick up your child, it is definitely accepted as ward of government. It can then be moved for adoption.

Each parent can recognize a child born as X in a two-month period.

Children born after an X-ray delivery have ability to access their personal origins, but under certain conditions.
