Is the Good American Family based on real events – has it really happened?
Yes, Good American Family is based on real events. It is about the short -grown Natalia Grace, a little girl born in Ukraine in 2003. She has been diagnosed with congenital spondyloepiSEal dysplasia. That’s according to The National Board of Health and Welfare A hereditary condition that belongs to the skeletal dysplasis group.
In 2010, Natalia Grace was adopted by the American family Barnett – which was made up of Kristine and Michael Barnett and their three children. Natalia Grace became the family’s fourth child – but the mother and the father quickly meant that Natalia was a fraud and was really much older than she claimed to be. Just like in the horror movie Orphan, that is.
Kristine and Michael Barnett accused Natalia of being a “sociopath” who tried to hurt their family. Among other things, they mean that Natalia tried to poison their coffee and put staples in the stairs that they would go on People reported on.
Kristina and Michael Barnett abandoned their adopted children by leaving her alone in an apartment whose rent they paid for a year. Then Natalia Grace was between 11-12 years old Vox reported.
After many trips in court and several different DNA tests, it could be proven that Natalia Grace was de facto born in 2003, has Forbes reported. So she was not an adult when she was adopted, something that the Barnett family claimed.
What has the Good American Family received for reviews and ratings?
At the IMDB movie database, the rating at the time of writing is 5.7/10. In British The Guardian got the three stars out of five possible, while Hollywood Reporter Wrote that the most shocking thing about the series is how boring it is.

After the Barnett family abandoned Natalia Grace, she was adopted by the Mans family. Natalia Grace later accused her new adoptive family of abuse and for “kept her prisoner”, something that Business Insider reported on.

According to the newspaper, Natalia Grace also has the diagnosis of line, reactive contact disorder, which according to University of Gothenburg is a serious disorder that may come when children have been subjected to abuse, neglect or neglect. They write that the occurrence is higher in cared for children.
– We try to guide Natalia, not control her. She is super cute. She wouldn’t hurt a fly, Natalia’s father said Vince Depaul to People.
– Did she do strange things before? Yes. But when you bring in a child, you take in that child as your own. You not only get rid of the child when they do not fit your puzzle, Natalia’s mother Nicole Depaul said in an interview with People.
