They are given to Children and Family services who then put the child in a foster home for temporary placement and then put up for adoption.

They become wards of the state and go to foster homes until such time as they can be placed for adoption through DSS.

Once the safe haven provider has notified the local child welfare department that an infant has been relinquished, the department assumes custody of the infant as an abandoned child. The department has responsibility for placing the infant, usually in a preadoptive home, and for petitioning the court for termination of the birth parent's parental rights. Before the baby is placed in a preadoptive home, 12 States require the department to request the local law enforcement agency to determine whether the baby has been reported as a missing child.17 In addition, four States (Illinois, Missouri, Utah, and Wyoming) require the department to check the putative father registry before a termination of parental rights petition can be filed.
ETA: I realize I didn't answer your second question. What should happen is that EVERY state should do an exhaustive investigation to make sure the baby doesn't have a parent looking for his/her lost child. A DNA test to prove the person dropping off the baby is the biological parent would be a big plus too. But this might discourage some people from bringing their babies to a safe haven and the alternatives make me shudder. I live close to Chicago and we have far too many dumpster stories here.
