The Shocking True Story Behind Hulu’s Good American Family
The limited series “Good American Family” on Hulu is based on a true story that may seem too wild to be real, but it actually happened. It follows the events surrounding an Indiana family who adopted a girl from Ukraine, thinking she was six years old, but things took a dramatic turn.
The story shows different perspectives, from the adoptive parents to the girl at the center of it all, Natalia Grace. Natalia’s case made headlines when her adoptive parents faced neglect charges in 2019 for abandoning her in an apartment and cutting off contact after moving to Canada.
The Barnetts felt Natalia, who has a rare form of dwarfism, was manipulating them into believing she was younger, causing harm to their biological children. They legally changed her birth year to indicate she was 22 years old, leading to a confusing legal battle.
Despite the Barnetts’ claims, DNA tests in 2024 showed that Natalia was much younger when they adopted her. She now lives with another family who tried to adopt her before but were denied. The series sheds light on this complex and troubling situation, offering viewers a glimpse into a real-life mystery.
If you’re intrigued by this strange but true story, you can catch “Good American Family” on Hulu for a riveting and jaw-dropping watch.
