Sculpt stones for adopted kid (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

foster son

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'adopted kid' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'sculpt stones for' is the wordplay.
'sculpt' is an anagram indicator.
'stones'+'for'='stonesfor'
'stonesfor' is an anagram of 'FOSTER-SON'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for foster son that I've seen is " re-housed kid?".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
