(AP) LOS ANGELES - ABC Family says it green-lighted a series pilot from Jennifer Lopez's production company about a lesbian couple and their diverse family.

ABC Family said Thursday the comedy-drama pilot, titled "The Fosters," is about two women raising a "21st century," multi-ethnic mix of foster and biological kids.

Lopez will be an executive producer for the hour-long project. Casting was not announced.

Her company, Nuyorican, is in development on other TV series, including "Taming Ben Taylor," a romantic comedy starring the actress-singer, and "Sweet Little 15," a Mexican girl's coming-of-age story.

Lopez, who recently exited "American Idol" as a judge, also is developing films through her company.

ABC Family, what are you thinking, a hour long drama about a multi-ethnic family of foster and biological kids being raised by two moms, on a "Family Channel" you think the public is going except this type of show on a family channel? I think the parents and the public of the county are going to give you a hard time with this project? People if you disgree with ABC Family let them know, you can contact Jori Arancio Ph: 818-973-2167, Email jori.arancio@disney.com or Feedback http://abcfamily.go.com/site/news-details/abc-family-greenlights-two-new-drama-pilots/1009259
