The foster parents receive a set sum for each child from the state and the parents pay the state. Since it would be a very different sum for each child based on what parents can pay, the sum is set for each child and every state have this system. The foster parents should not have to use their money. if that was the case we would have very few foster families because they would not afford it.

Do foster parents get reimbursed in Illinois?
You do not get paid for being a foster parent you get reimbursed for child's expenses and they also receive a medical card so there is no medical bills that the family incurs. Getting paid for being a foster parent is the give and take relationship you achieve with your child. In some states, foster parents are in fact paid a perdiem for each child. An average in Texas is $30 per day per child. This is meant to cover the child's expenses (other than medical) but it isn't reimbursed. It's paid to the foster family and they are expected to provide for the child.

A foster family is when a child who is in a foster home is fostered. Children in foster homes are children who have parents that are too busy to look after them, ill with a serious illness or have died. People can foster a child and look after a child ( a bit like adopting) but most of the time their parents are still alive so the child can't be adopted but can be fostered. The children can still see their parents and people they met at their foster home.
