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

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.
