A foster parent is one who usually temporarily looks after a child until a 'mother' adopts the child.
A substitute mom is one known these days as someone who will carry a child for another woman who will be it's mother.
When a child is adopted from an orphanage as I know -it is usually for good and with full intention of being as much as a real loving parent , so the woman would thus be a mother in every sense of the word with the exception of having give birth to the child.

I think the word you are looking for is FOSTER PARENT. Here are some definitions:
foster home
: a household in which an orphaned, neglected, or delinquent child is placed for care
surrogate mother
: a woman who becomes pregnant usually by artificial insemination or surgical implantation of a fertilized egg for the purpose of carrying the fetus to term for another woman
- surrogate motherhood noun

i believe it would be caretaker as a foster parent is when a child is placed with a family (mother figure) in their home....since you are specifically saying the child is still in the orphanage, caretaker...
