If the child has special needs, the carer would receive more.

Do children in foster care receive child support from parents?
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 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.

Why does my mom get money each month from the government for me being adopted Why did she get money from them when I was her foster kid?
When you were still a foster child the biological parents are still obligated to pay for your expenses. Many people have many foster children because they want to and because there is a need but that does not mean they would otherwise afford to have them all so they have to get their expenses paid. If you are adopted now there are financial assistance the parents can get when they adopt a foster child. This is because otherwise they would still look for a family for you if your mom could not afford to adopt you since when you adopt a child you are usually not getting a anything. This assistance is there to help children who are in good families to stay there - permanently.
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.

If your a under age mother and the father is an older adult how can you get child support?
The age of the parents has no bearing on child support. All the State cares about is who are the biological parents, who has custody, and how much money does each parent make. You get child support by filing a child support case with the Attorney General's office in your state.
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.
