If I am sponsoring a child do they count as supporting another person?

Child sponsor

Please explain what you mean by "sponsoring" a child. If you are providing help to a child through a charity then no, you do not claim that child as a dependent or say that you support the child. You can enter the donation as a charitable donation.
