Hulu's 'Good American Family' Revisits Natalia Grace Saga Through Multiple Perspectives
The dramatized series examines the controversial adoption, legal battles, and conflicting narratives surrounding Natalia Grace, a Ukrainian orphan with dwarfism.
- 'Good American Family,' premiering March 19, 2025, on Hulu, dramatizes the true story of Natalia Grace and her adoption by the Barnetts.
- The series explores the Barnetts' claims that Natalia was an adult posing as a child, which led to legal battles and her eventual independence at a young age.
- A DNA test later suggested Natalia was closer to her original birth year of 2003, supporting her claim that she was a child at the time.
- The show uses multiple perspectives to highlight themes of bias, parenting, and the elusive nature of truth, aiming for emotional authenticity rather than strict factual adherence.
- Natalia was later adopted by the Mans family in 2023, providing her with a supportive home, as depicted in the series.
