The Qabalistic answer for this: At the first drawn breath. Ancient Qabala holds that the method of reincarnation is that souls come from the realms beyond to be reborn, but must find their own vessel, one is not appointed to them. Souls basically wait around the womb for the birth, and are the child's first breath.
Occasionally there is a fight between souls wanting the same vessel, if you will, and fighting in close proximity to the child. This can cause damage, and was the old explanation for birth defects of all types.
So, under this theory, is it possible for a child to be born without a soul to occupy it? Definitely. Will that child live? Never. You see, the divine spark of life imparted by a mother and father was only enough to power a single breath. After that, the link to God provided by the soul was needed to sustain that spark and generate a fire. Symbolics at its earliest.

it is not only that. it depends on power of the parents-
and also the media- fe; barbie-type, the weakest and youngest form of souls? are created by media, not by parents! and from that form of "plastification" they do not have a soul-
I wouldn't forget about pre-adamic organic portals also-
