Article 351 of the French Civil Code

Placement with a view to adoption concerns wards of the state or children judicially declared abandoned. In the case of full adoption, it also concerns children for whom adoption has been validly and definitively consented to.

This placement takes effect on the date on which the child is actually handed over to the future adopters.
