From www.dictionary.com :
adj.
Providing parental care and nurture to children not related through legal or blood ties: foster parents; foster grandparents; a foster home.
Same meaning. We also use "adopted" in place of "foster".
Although adoption is a legal process...

unless as is often the case in the UK, the parent is a raging alcoholic and drinks far too much Fosters .
