In my country, if you don't take proper care of your kids, the state will take them away from you. But there is social welfare, so you will get money if you don't have a job.
If parents are unable psychologically to take care of their kids, I suppose the state should step in. If it is just money woes, I am not so sure. Especially as it might be cheaper to give money to parents than to finance foster homes (I don't know). I also don't trust that foster homes generally provide good care for children. I suppose some do, but it seems difficult to assess, so there are probably a lot of bad apples. You can't make people love a kid - caregivers in foster homes are being paid to take care of the kids, but maybe they won't be able to provide some crucial things like love.
