The two have adopted a baby daughter, Lily, of [[Vietnamese Americans|Vietnamese origin]], and are later on legally married. At the end of the show, they adopt another child, Rexford.
As the show's name suggests, it depicts a modern-day extended family; many episodes are comically based on situations that many families encounter in real life.

===Initial development===
As creators Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan retold stories about their families, they realized that the stories could be the basis for a show. They started working on the idea of a family being observed in a mockumentary-style show.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Smith|first1=Patrick|title=''Modern Family'' series 2: creator Christopher Lloyd on why it won an Emmy|date=October 2, 2010 |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8032812/Modern-Family-series-2-creator-Christopher-Lloyd-on-why-it-won-an-Emmy.html|publisher=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|access-date=September 26, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150927143133/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8032812/Modern-Family-series-2-creator-Christopher-Lloyd-on-why-it-won-an-Emmy.html|archive-date=September 27, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> They later decided that it could be a show about three families and their experiences.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tvweb.com/shows/modern-family/season-1--christopher-lloyd-interview|title=''Modern Family'' Season 1: Christopher Lloyd Interview|publisher=MovieWeb.com|access-date=September 28, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151002145341/http://tvweb.com/shows/modern-family/season-1--christopher-lloyd-interview|archive-date=October 2, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> It was originally called ''My American Family'',<ref name="title">{{cite web|url=https://www.today.com/popculture/modern-family-freshman-hit-abc-wbna35297872 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100902052128/http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/35297872/ns/entertainment-television |url-status=live |archive-date=September 2, 2010 |title=''Modern Family'' a freshman hit for ABC |date=February 8, 2010 |publisher=Today|access-date=June 11, 2020}}</ref> and the camera crew was originally supposed to have been run by a fictitious Dutch filmmaker named Geert Floortje, who had lived as a teenaged exchange student with the Pritchetts and had developed a crush on Claire (while Mitchell had developed a crush on him). The producers later felt that this component was unnecessary, and it was scrapped. Lloyd now preferspreferred to look at the show as "a family show done documentary-style".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/2010/01/modern_family_co-creator_steve.html |title=Modern Family: Co-creator Steve Levitan weighs in |publisher=NJ.com |date=January 14, 2010 |access-date=February 8, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100927042553/http://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/index.ssf/2010/01/modern_family_co-creator_steve.html |archive-date=September 27, 2010 |url-status=live }}</ref>
Lloyd and Levitan pitched the series to [[CBS]], [[NBC]], and ABC (they did not pitch it to [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] because of issues they had with the network over a previous comedy series, ''[[Back to You (TV series)|Back to You]]'', that Lloyd and Levitan also created and produced). CBS, which was not ready to make a big commitment to the single-camera style of filming, rejected the series. NBC, already broadcasting ''[[The Office (American TV series)|The Office]]'' and ''[[Parks and Recreation]]'' at the time, decided against taking on a third mockumentary-style show. ABC accepted the pitch.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thewrap.com/its-modern-family-affair-emmys-19278/|title=It's a ''Modern Family'' Affair at the Emmys|author=Pond, Steve|work=[[TheWrap]]|date=July 15, 2010 |access-date=February 8, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100718091343/http://www.thewrap.com/awards/column-post/its-modern-family-affair-emmys-19278|archive-date=July 18, 2010|url-status=live}}</ref>

Starting with the second season, Levitan and Lloyd ran the show, not as a team, but separately, with each showrunner supervising half the episodes. "Chris and I are both strong, opinionated people, and we very, very quickly realized it doesn't make sense to sit here and debate each other and waste time," Levitan told ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' in 2012. "We often come at it from different points of view, so we said, 'Let's just switch off who has final say.'"<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/modern-family-season-4-sofia-vergara-julie-bowen-371246/ |title=Inside 'Modern Family's' Billion-Dollar Winning Formula and How Season 4 Might Change Everything|website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |date=September 19, 2012 |access-date=February 8, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150526014122/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/modern-family-season-4-sofia-vergara-julie-bowen-371246?page=2 |archive-date=May 26, 2015 |url-status=live }}</ref>

But now, "most gay people trust that the television audience knows we're a diverse tribe, not easily pigeonholed. ''Modern Family'' endows us with a sort of comic banality.
