Marmee, Meema and the kids are just like any other family on the block. They cook dinner together, laugh together and dance together. But some of the other families don’t accept them. They say they are different. How can a family have two moms and no dad? Marmee and Meema teach their children that different doesn’t mean wrong. And no matter how many moms or dads they have, they are everything a family is meant to be.
