You do get a foster care subsidy, and how much it is depends on the state you live in. I live in CA and we are expected to pay for daycare with the subsidy, and that put me immediately in the negative. Daycare here is $800 for an infant, my subsidy is $624. I know some states pay for daycare, hopefully you are in one of those!
TPR stands for termination of parental rights.
WIC stands for Woman, Infants, and Children. It is a program that provides free formula for the infants in your care, which will save you about $200 a month. I believe they have programs for older children too, but I don't know much about them.
