Can a father who has been absent in a child's life hand her into foster care to keep her mother from having her?
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.
How do you spell fallsterhomes?
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.
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.

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
