They aren't the same. Adoption is becoming the legal parent and foster care means the state is the childs guardian. The state makes all important decisions regarding the child and the foster parents have no rights, the state can just come in and move the child to another foster home for no reason. Adopted children are yours forever.
Foster care and adoption is not the same thing. Yes, you get to meet your adoptive parents before they adopt you. That is not always the case with foster care since if a child is abused for instance the foster families are ready to receive you in the middle of the night sometimes, when it's needed. Foster care is not meant to be permanent like adoption.

Yes, you have the same rights as anyone else when in foster care.
If the child is being abused or parents die for example. Also if a child is being put up for adoption they can stay in foster care until they have found parents.
If you have already found a person to adopt a baby then no the baby doesn't have to go through foster care.Yes, You Are Correct. Until the Process it Finished, and the Legal Documents have Been Checked and Approved, the Child Will Be In Foster Care ^^
If you are adopted the parents care for you just like any other family. There is no adoption check. No one is being paid in order to adopt someone. If you were in foster care and turn 18 you will get a check and be out on your own.
Teen pregnancy is more common in foster care than in ordinary families. The girl have the same choice as every other woman about what to do; keep it, adoption or abortion. Depending on the foster family, she can stay where she is or they can move her into a home for expecting mothers where she will get educated on babies etc and have a chance to continue school.
