I am considering becoming a foster parent, and am curious how much I would make doin so. Is it enough to provide for them and their needs?How much does a foster parent make?
If you are looking to become a foster parent to earn money, forget it. It does not pay very much, but it does cover the cost s of the additional children. I think generally (depending on your state) it pays like 12 - 15 dollars per day.


If you are thinking about fostering to help a needy child and you truly love children, then the payment is in the form of emotional rewards, and knowing you have helped a child.


Good luck! Becoming a foster parent is a very admirable task!How much does a foster parent make?
Depends on what state you live in and the severity of the child's behavior/medical issues. Plus different agencies in you state probably have different rates. I wouldn't go calling all of them to find out though, or you probably won't get approved. That's a big red flag! Foster parents make anywhere between 25- 45 dollars per day per child at the agency I work. This money is tax free, plus you get a medical card to pay for all medical expenses and medications.
The amount varies from place to place and by the age and needs of the child. Here in my state, for example, $300/month is average, but I have heard of two or three times that in certain cases. In addition, some foster parents are reimbursed for transporting children to visits with their biological families and other expenses. Also, children in foster care qualify for medicaid to pay for their medical expenses, so your bigger problem would be finding a doctor in your area who will accept medicaid. Hope this helps.
If you're considering being a foster parent it should be for the right reasons. I hope it's not cuz you don't want to have to work, so you can stay home and make money. Being a foster parent should be more about the kids than yourself. It's to give children a good home, to love them, to play with them, to make them feel worthy - to give them the best life they can possible have at this time. And you need to be prepared to let them go. Can you handle the emotions of falling in love with kids (if you want to do this for the right reasons), than later losing them to a new family? It's a really hard thing to do if you're good hearted, but only good hearted people should be foster parents. Think of everything all around, not just about the money for yourself, cuz it wouldn't be for you anyways, the money would be for the kids.
It depends on where you reside. I live in Fresno, CA. and they


pay less then they would pay, if we would live in L.A., CA.. When


I was a foster mom it was $597.00 for a 16-18 year old child and


then cut off, unless they still need the money for what ever reason.


But I told them no that was it close the case. So it all depends


on the place where you live. But now a a days the boys shoes


are like $65 0n up to $100 plus, that is not including the clothing.


The girls are a bit cheaper, but then depending on the age. The


older one want their nails done, you have to keep up with the


make-up and of course the the hair style. And most important


the food, you'll spend more then $100.00 on food. I was a foster


mother for 2 and I Adopted 1. I had her since birth and she blended into the family like she was supposed to be with us.


There is things about her that people say like my daughter and


her resemble each other and to top it off, it just so happens


that my daughter has a mole above her right eye brow and she


just happened to grow one. What then she grew another mole


like my daughter almost the same place by her lips. Some times


they say are you sure she's not the mother, LOL and make me


grandma. Oh and the kids that I took in were my nephew and


my niece. my nephew, I had him since he was 5, now he's 20


going on 21 in Feb,07, my (niece) daughter new born, now 10,


and my nephew 16 now 18. Now my nephew(20), called me up to tell me I'm going to be Auntie/Grandma, I'm so happy.
not much, a couple of hundred a month, being a shelter parent will pay much more, but you will have to take the kids anytime of the day or night.
I think it's different in all states.





But you won't make EXTRA money. Just enough for them, if even. I babysit for a family with foster kids and they make -100 a month. (By that I mean, they spend about 100 a month of their own money for the kids. They aren't really making anything at all.)
well the state will help you pay for anything that u will need to provide the children with
You already sound like a bad foster parent.


f you need to worry about money then you cant afford to be a foster parent. SCARY THOUGHT!
