Because the state requires anyone the child is to spend time with to have a through background check before allowing the child to stay with anyone.

Can I take my son from the foster parents if they have power of attorney and the back of his head is flat?
No. You do not have the right to take the child if he has been placed in foster care. A child who is in foster care is a ward of the state. That child is under the legal custody of the Department of Child Services by virtue of a court order. The department has placed the child with a certified foster parent. A foster parent partners with that department to provide stability, food, clothing, housing and nurturing to a child who can no longer live with his/her birth parents. The foster parent interacts with the child's school and sees to medical needs. There is always the hope that the child will be reunited with their parents some time in the future. During the foster care period the parents rights are suspended although they may have visitation rights. If you have questions or concerns about your child's health or physical condition you should speak with the social worker in charge of your case.
Can foster care sign your child over to a care giver without you signing?
Yes. Once your child is in the foster care system, they can send them to a caregiver without your approval (that's what the foster care system does). If your child has been removed from your home, your signature is basically irrelevant; there's a temporary shelter order that is in effect that allows the worker to legally place the child into protective care. A hearing will occur that will decide whether a permanent shelter order is signed by the judge; you will be notified of this hearing. If the shelter order gets approved by the court, your only choice to get the child(ren) back is to follow your care plan and work with the social workers, Guardian ad litem, therapists and judge.

How can you put your child in foster care will you have to pay?
Only a judge decides if there are reasons enough to put your child in foster care. Talk to a social worker. Foster care is not a miracle solution, it's just another family helping out if the child has serious problems or if the parent is unfit to take care of them. This is not a solution if your child is just unruly and you are tired of dealing with it. If you want to give your child up for a less serious reason the judge might find that you should not get him back. But the state will not charge you for taking your child. They will probably make you take parenting classes, and until you get the child back or they terminate your parental rights you could have to pay child support which is determined by your pay.
What happens if the state takes back custody of a child and puts the child in foster care because the mother has no parental rights but pays child support?
