The State of Georgia places at 43rd in the United States as doing what is right by the children in their care.They had action taken against them by "Childrights" of the State of New York and put into place regulations that would protect the children in their care and have failed miserably to meet the regulations, year after year.

No you are a ward of the state and the state has the final say until the state returns you to your parents or they release you to yourself either when you turn 18 or 21. * The minor would need parental permission and permission from the court that placed the minor in foster care.

In Florida, the answer is no: the children are all covered under medicaid. since the foster care system is done at the state level, it's possible that the answer to this varies from state to state.

Typically the state foster care system.
In the US, orphanage is an obsolete term, and instead children in the care of the state are cared for in either foster homes or group homes; in both cases, you are in foster care. In general, the preference of the system is to put children in care into foster homes instead of group homes whenever possible. If you really wish to reside in a group home instead of a foster home, you should talk to your case worker, therapist and/or Guardian at Litem (or Attourney At Litem)
In the state of Tennessee if you have a child while you are in foster care you have to complete a permancy plan before you can take your child with you. If you can provide proof that you can maintain a stable and safe home envionment for you and your child, the state will give custody back to you.

Depends on the situation and reason the child goes into foster care but usually the biological parents have to pay the state and the state pay the foster family.
Children go into a foster care home. These are homes that have been approved by the state to take care of children for long term care or temporary care.
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.
