padre adoptivo (temporal)


Explanation:
I have seen the word temporal added to this term to distinguish it from actual permanent adoptive parents. I also like the term "padres de crianza"

padre de acogida


Explanation:
En España lo llamamos así. No es exactamente "adoptivo", ya que la familia de acogida "acoge"/cuida del niño durante un periodo determinado de tiempo. Esa es la diferencia entre un adoptive parent y un foster parent (el tiempo).

Padre sustituto


Explanation:
Otra opción. Lo he visto traducido de esta manera cuando se refiere a los padres que se hacen cargo de niños ajenos o huérfanos en forma provisoria, hasta que se les encuentre un hogar definitivo.

Apadrinar un niño. Padrino.


Explanation:
If it refers to the organisation Foster Parents or similar, then there is no real Adoption, but merely voluntary contributions to a certain child in a developing country who remains with his own parents. In that case in Spanish you use the expression:

Padrinos.
or according to the context "apadrinar"
