Hulu's Good American Family Chronicles Controversial Natalia Grace Adoption Case

The new Hulu series Good American Family dramatizes the controversial adoption case of Ukrainian child Natalia Grace, adopted in 2010 by Kristine and Michael Barnett. The series, which premiered recently, explores the tumultuous relationship between the Barnetts and Natalia, who was born with a rare form of dwarfism. Allegations emerged from both sides, including claims by the Barnetts that Natalia attempted to harm them and their assertion that she was actually an adult posing as a child, leading to a court order changing her birth year. Natalia was later abandoned by the Barnetts, who moved to Canada in 2013, resulting in legal action against them for neglect. The show employs a unique structure to present multiple perspectives on the story, reflecting the complexity and contradictions of the real-life events. As of now, Natalia continues to navigate her challenges while seeking to heal from her tumultuous past.
