This really varies a lot from state to state.
Some states pay monthly, and in those cases you should get your stipend when the next month cycle happens; occasionally there will be a lag and you'll wait 6-8 weeks or so because they didn't get the paperwork done in time for you to get the next month's check, and you'll wind up waiting for the following month. In an ideal situation, you should get the check right after the next month starts.
Don't be afraid to talk to the social worker about it if it's been a while and you haven't seen a check. People are often really cautious about asking, but the workers generally understand that people often need the money to properly care for the children.
Ca I still be a Foster Parent even if I'm an Epileptic Patient?
Becoming a foster parent can be very difficult for some people due to the very long process that is involved. You can find out more about this process at the website www.fosterparenting.com/foster-care/foster-parenting.html.

If the child care center is being used for it's intended purpose, i.e. providing child care for a certain amount of time either for a fee or as part of a membership service, there is no difference between the foster parent and a biological parent. There is no law prohibiting foster parents from utilizing child care services. If you are instead questioning the propriety of the location of the child care because it is in a gym, as long as the care center meets the requirements set down for child care providers in their state there is no problem. If the foster parent does not have an agreement with the care center to provide care and instead is just dropping the child off, this is not okay, and would not be okay for a biological parent eiither. It then becomes the responsibiity of the care center employees to contact the proper authorities to report the problem.
Child support is paid until the child is 18yo.
Long & Foster was founded in 1968 in a 600 square foot office in Fairfax, Virginia. Long & Foster began with Wes Foster handling the residential real estate arm of the business and Henry Long handling the commercial real estate arm.
Not as long as both parents have parental rights. If one parent gives up his parental rights which is required when putting a child in foster care, the other parent is the first one in line to take the child since she still have her parental rights. This assuming both are fit to parent. If the parents are not married and the father has not proved paternity in court and got his parental rights he should do so asap and then he has rights to the child. The social workers usually ask relatives first if they are interested in taking the child. There is a shortage fo foster families and staying with family is considered best for the child.
They care not the same. The definition of an orphan can vary. Some consider it losing one parent while other consider it losing both parents. Foster kids are kids that are in the foster care system some due to being orphaned but some for other reasons.
an animal can be in foster care its whole life without an actual owner :(
Rights? Basically, you will need to be provided for. If your parent passes, you will be eligible to receive survivor benefits from social security to help pay for your housing. My sisters (15 and 17) tried foster parents when they were your age, but the younger ended up with her own apartment (a very cheap, and cozy one) at 16. There was no problem as long as she attended school and kept on the straight and narrow. There is also an organization called Youth on their Own in many towns that may have referrals to help you.
