While every state is different, all pay some sort of stipend to help cover the costs. All provide insurance of some sort as well. However, the cost is greater than monetary. For those truly committed to taking in foster kids, the cost is emotional as well. Too often these kids are returned to the same situations from which they were taken. Too often the states slap on a bandaid, never truly addressing the real problems or making any attempt to alleviate the issues that led to the child's removal. In the worst situations, the state simply trashes the family and the child is left in a limbo of foster homes and strangers.

How much does adoption cost in 2010?
In the US you can count on up to $400 000 unless you adopt from foster care. Then it can cost a few hundred if you foster first. From another country it's around $500 000. In a private adoption it will be a few thousand for the lawyer and the medical care for the mother and anything else you wish to pay for. I suggest you go for a older child. If you want a baby it will take 10 years+.

If the person is younger than eight-teen, the foster home is required to report it to the police.

Do you have to sign out of foster care to leave?
When you turn adult age you can do what you want but prior to that you can't just leave foster care. It's not up to you but the judge. You can leave foster care early by being asked to be emancipated. I wouldn't recommend it giving how much the state helps out fosters.
