The Fosters is a hit show on ABC Family. It is a compelling, one-hour drama about a multi-ethnic family mix of foster and biological kids being raised by two moms. Stef Foster, a dedicated police officer, and her partner Lena Adams, a school vice principal, have built a close-knit, loving family with Stef's biological son from a previous marriage, Brandon, and their adopted twins, Mariana and Jesus. Their lives are disrupted in unexpected ways when Lena meets Callie, a hardened teen with an abusive past who has spent her life in and out of foster homes. Lena and Stef welcome Callie and her brother, Jude, into their home thinking it's just for a few weeks, until a more permanent placement can be found. But life has something else in store for the Fosters.
The idea for The Fosters was originally conceived by openly gay creators Bradley Bredeweg and Peter Paige who wanted to write a drama that reflected the "modern American family". Peter Paige and Bradley Bredeweg, also serve as executive producers alongside Jennifer Lopez whose production company, Nuyorican Productions, is responsible for putting The Fosters on air.
This show is something to watch because the plot portrays the normal every day issues and events teenagers & families go through, but with a "modern" twist. You can watch the first season of The Fosters on Netflix and then tune in for the second season on the ABC Family channel, Monday nights at 7 pm.
