приемные и патронатные семьи

English translation: explanation

Russian term or phrase: приемные и патронатные семьи
These both seem to be fostering families, but is there any way of distinguishing between the two adjectives?

В Программе предусмотрены мероприятия, направленные на развитие семейных форм воспитания: усыновление, опекунство, приемные и патронатные семьи.

This is from an article describing measures being taken in connection with 2007 as Year of the Child, in particular:

Комплексная программа дополнительных мер по социальной поддержке семей с детьми, созданию благоприятных условий для развития и становления личности ребенка на 2007 год.

Explanation:
As far as I understood the difference is not in the duration of care, but in legal commitments of the family taking care of the child.

Here you can find a detailed explanation of both foster home and patronage system. The first is regulated by the Federal Law. The patronage system is an experiment tried out in different regions, where the family does not take on all legal responsibilities for the child. They bring up a child together with the support and assistance of the state and different social and psychological services.

here's some more explanation on the difference between the two families:
Патронатная семья — это институт профессиональных воспитателей, замещающих родителей на определенное время. От обычного усыновления оно отличается, прежде всего, тем, что обязанности опекуна возложены на детский дом, а с приемными патронатными родителями заключается трудовой договор, им выплачивается заработная плата и засчитывается трудовой стаж.
