Article 370-5 of the French Civil Code

An adoption duly granted abroad produces in France the effects of a full adoption if it completely and irrevocably breaks the pre-existing parent-child relationship. Otherwise, it produces the effects of simple adoption. It may be converted into a full adoption if the requisite consents have been expressly given with full knowledge of the facts.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 370-5

L’adoption régulièrement prononcée à l’étranger produit en France les effets de l’adoption plénière si elle rompt de manière complète et irrévocable le lien de filiation préexistant. A défaut, elle produit les effets de l’adoption simple. Elle peut être convertie en adoption plénière si les consentements requis ont été donnés expressément en connaissance de cause.
