[What is with this found family and all of their awful mothers....]
A foster family is a family that takes in kids who need a break from their biological one. It's a family that's s'posed to be nicer than your own, who can teach you what it's like to be loved by good parents and have siblings to mess around with.
[This is how Katsuki's been rationalizing his newfound family in Ellipsa, for himself. It felt weird to call someone not related to him "dad" at first. But after thinking about it like a foster situation, it feels more natural and makes sense even.]
My mom and dad back home aren't the best at being parents. And because of that I was growing up to be a bad person. That's why I need to take a break from them, and let someone nice and cool like Mike be my dad for a little while. So I can grow into a better person instead. And so I can learn stuff that my dad won't teach me.
[In this case, his teachers back home were the ones who "fostered" him from his parents and helped him grow into a good person for real. Mike's just the cherry on top-- teaching him what he has left to learn that his teachers didn't touch on. (like how romance is okay, actually)]
Does that make sense? Mike's not trying to replace my dad for real. He's just looking after me during this break away from home, and the same goes for you.

You're his foster kid. Just like me.
