You present the relationship as the characters see it. If the foster parents wish to be called mam (or mum. Dialect?) and dad, or the child thinks of them or loves them as though they were her parents, then she calls them mam and dad. If they and she have a friendship or more formal relationship, she might call them Dan and Shirley or Mr and Mrs Jones.

"mom" and "mam" are two different things.
