Good American Family

2025

Good American Family (2025) is an American drama series based on the adoption of Ukrainian born Natalia Grace (Imogen Faith Reid), a child with dwarfism.

The series is inspired by a true story, that Natalia was abandoned by her adoptive parents, Kristine Barnett (Ellen Pompeo) and Michael Barnett (Mark Duplass).


Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
