Overview
The series follows the lives of police officer Stef Foster and her wife Lena Foster, a school vice principal, and their multi-ethnic, blended family. Stef and Lena are the parents of Brandon Foster, who is Stef's biological son, and the twins, Jesus and Mariana who were adopted as small children. At the outset of the series, the couple take in two foster children: Callie and Jude, who had been bounced between foster homes and were later adopted by the Fosters family. Also part of their lives is Mike Foster, who is Stef's patrol partner and ex-husband, as well as the father of Brandon.

Most of the show takes place in their quiet San Diego suburb and at Anchor Beach Community Charter School, where Lena works and Foster children go to school.
