Yes, that's what annoying me right now. It isn't like Claire's search for her biological parents which we got to hear about from day one -- it comes from nowhere but a wide-eyed desperate hope that they're not writing something skeevy.
Seriously, just because Mama Petrelli knows what's going on does not have to mean Peter is a foster child. The simple explanation -- which, regardless of the shocking reveals on this show, is usually the case -- is that either she or Papa Petrelli had powers and passed them on, which would explain how she knew about Peter and Nathan's abilities and why she would go to such lengths to get Claire back into the family. Mama Petrelli's awesome beyond the telling of it, but I really don't see that woman going all Angelina Jolie over a foster child with superpowers. (And why stop with Peter if that were the case? They're rich and obviously there are many of these kids out there.)
