In the past the term, family was usually considered as members of legally married man and woman with children. However, nowadays, we have homosexual families, unmarried, re-married couple, and single parent family. And there is no doubt that children who were grown up from that extended families are different from other children who are members of traditional family. Given the wide variation among cultures and subcultures as well as the rapidity of social change at the beginning of the twenty-first century, it has become increasingly difficult to define what is meant by the term family (Lesser & Pope, 2007). The story of raising Kevion shows that the importance of family and situations that every individual has to face in our society. A client Jewell Reed was born in a single parent family. Her mother gave birth when she was a teenager. Jewell had never seen her father since she was one year old and had lived with her mother and the mother’s boyfriend. Jewell did not like her family and really wanted someone to love with. That is why she became pregnant in high school like her mother. Jewell is a mother of three children; Tremmell, Terrell, and Kevion. Their fathers are different. All of them live with her boy friend, Ken, who is a father of the youngest son Kevion. Ken has his idealistic wedding in his mind and wants to marry her. He does not want a typical wedding at a city hall but on a tropical beach like sitcom “Martin”.
