Foster care is generally regulated by state laws and each state can adopt (ha!) its own regulations in addition to selecting and implementing life safety code, building code and fire code pertinent to such occupancies.

For instance, the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code has a chapter on "Residential Board and Care" facilities and the required fire inspection would include each and every element covered in that chapter.

As a general rule, however, foster homes are held to a higher standard than other privately owned one- or two-family dwellings, at least to the extent they must be opened periodically for official inspection. For example, your state may require a smoke and CO detector in your private home, but they cannot possibly know whether you have one unless you permit some official to enter, whereas a licensed foster home has no choice but to permit such inspection, perhaps annually.

Are foster kids allowed to meet there foster parents before they are adopted?

Foster care and adoption is not the same thing. Yes, you get to meet your adoptive parents before they adopt you. That is not always the case with foster care since if a child is abused for instance the foster families are ready to receive you in the middle of the night sometimes, when it's needed. Foster care is not meant to be permanent like adoption.
