According to the media outlet, Wesley has built a career as a sales and marketing employee in the automotive industry. Ethan works in the field of culinary arts and has completed the relevant training required for the same.

The mini-TV series focuses on Natalia and the whole ordeal with her adoptive parents, Michael and Kristine Barnett. They believed she showed signs of being an adult and lied about her age.
