When did the foster care system start
The phrase made up of two words is spelled "foster home". To foster means to take in, to care for, to look after. In human life, to foster a child means that an adult or two adults take in a child to care and provide guidance to the child in place of the child's parents. "Foster homes" used to simply be called "children's homes" in the late 1800s to early 1900s. These "children's homes" were often caring for as many children as could fit into one private residence (house). Slowly, the concept of a "foster home" became more of one home with two adults caring for one or several children. Foster parents had to apply with the State where they resided in order to take in children, and the State sets limits on how many "foster children" can be raised in one "foster home" with a "foster parent" (or plural, two foster parents). At first, only married couples could be foster parents, but now many single adults assume the foster parent role. In exchange for providing "foster care", the adult(s) are paid a set sum of money per each child under their care.
Dave Pelzer was placed in multiple foster homes throughout his childhood due to the abuse he suffered from his mother. Some of the foster homes he was placed in include the Daly City, San Francisco, and South San Francisco foster homes. Each home provided a different environment for Dave, some more supportive and nurturing than others.
Your question is unclear to me. However, I will let you know about me. I was a foster child, along with my 4 siblings, as our mother died when i was 3. I/we were raised in foster homes until we each graduated from high school. This was in the 1940s and in New York state. I am now an adult of many years and in the process of writing my story of living in foster care. Carol J. Pettengill

Each state stets different standards. You must contact your own state's Department of Children and Family Services for this information.
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.

You can't just "hand" a child into foster care. It takes a court order to place the child and the social worker will try to find other family members willing to take the child because it's better if they stay with their own family that with strangers, and if a parent is fit and want custody the parent will come first. Foster care is not used to keep fit parents and children away from each other.
