The Fosters

The Fosters Theme Song always gives me shivers, soft feelings, and tenderness.

The television show "The Fosters" stated these statistics of children in the foster care system:

35% of foster kids will be incarcerated at some point before they reach the age of 18
66% of foster kids who age out will either end up homeless in jail or dead within one year

I tried to find the most recent statistics for this past year and I could not. I did find quite alarming issues facing children in the foster care system and those that age out.

One of the producers is Jennifer Lopez and the creators are two gay males.

Jennifer Lopez's decision to become involved in the project is said to have been largely inspired by her late Aunt Marisa, Lopez's mother's gay elder sister who had faced discrimination during her lifetime due to her sexual orientation and was unable to have a family of her own.[17][18][19] When discussing the show's concept, Lopez stated, "Although [the script] was about a non-traditional family and had some newer themes, it had some really basic themes as well about family and love and what's really important. And life can be complicated and messy sometimes and not simple. It gives a really good depiction of family in this day and age."[19] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fo...2013_TV_series)
