I just started the second season of The Fosters on the Roku channel. Two lesbian moms have 5 kids, one from a previous marriage and 4 adopted from foster care. (Their last name is Foster, also.) It's a complex, fun, mostly happy drama of the Gilmore Girls variety. It was created and written by Peter Paige, of the U.S. version of Queer As Folk fame.

The kids are all teenagers, and they go through the usual teenage crises, including some specific to adoption and the foster care system. One mom is an assistant high school principal, and the other mom is a police officer. Also, the police officer's ex-husband is a police officer and her partner on the force. Rosie O'Donnell does a great job as the administrator of a group home, and Annie Potts and Lorraine Toussaint are great as the grandmothers.

There's a good deal of AA drama in this one, too, so if that's a trigger for you, you may want to avoid it.

This is exceptionally well-written and well-acted, and I am really enjoying it so far.
