The Fosters

Overview

Stef, a dedicated police officer, is in a relationship with Lena. The two have built a close-knit family with Stef's biological son, Brandon, and adopted twins, Mariana and Jesus. When Lena meets Callie -- hardened from being in and out of foster homes -- the couple welcome her into their home, thinking it is temporary. Callie's blunt commentary about the atypical family hits a nerve with the twins, who struggle with their own identities. Then the girl discovers a secret that could land Mariana in trouble. Brandon helps Callie navigate the social scene at high school, but she skips school to meet up with an old friend. Her behavior makes Stef and Lena second-guess their decision to help her.

My thoughts

I think this show had a great message. It really shows how had it can be for a teen in the foster care system. It focuses on many different issues that they can face and how hard it can be to make any change to the system. I think everyone should watch at least a couple episodes of this show so they can gain a little insight into how difficult the life of a foster kid can be.
