What should I do?

My Dear young lady, you are dealing with very strong emotions.
Is it possible to talk to the 'mother' of the house?
Sometimes what seems like a huge, impassable obstacle can turn out to be manageable. You wouldn't be doing anything illegal or morally wrong if you pursued a romance with this guy but if you act in secrecy people will feel hurt.
Your foster parents may already be aware of a chemistry between you and their son even if they've never mentioned it. I'm all for naming the elephant in the room and getting things out in the open, give them a chance to have an opinion and perhaps they will be more understanding than you imagined.
I wish you all the best, C.

These kind people raised you up, don't cause them trouble by starting a romantic relationship right under their house with their son. They can and should kick you out if you cannot control yourself.
