The family does get compensation form the government for taking in a child, but generally at least one of the parents works as well. And I'm not entirely certain on how many children can be placed into one foster home, but I think it really just depends on the foster carers ability to house and feed the children. So they could probably keep up to about 3 or 4 if they don't have kids of their own, and 1 or 2 if they do have kids of their own. Some may be able to take more, and some may be able to take less.

It should never be anywhere near the amount an orphanage can take though.
