foster brother
Non-biological raised sibling
A foster brother is a male raised in the same household but not related by blood—typically when one family takes in another's child.
The term applies whether you were fostered into his family or he into yours: My foster brother and I grew up sharing a room.
The relationship may or may not involve legal adoption.
