Natalia Grace makes shocking revelation before the last episodes of the documentary “The Curious Case of Natalia Grace” air. She was accused by her adoptive parents of being an adult.
Natalia Grace is a woman with a rare form of dwarfism and was accused by her adoptive parents of being 22 years old. Grace made shocking revelations to People magazine before the last episodes of the documentary “The Curious Case of Natalia Grace”.
Natalia was born in Ukraine and adopted in 2010 by Kristine and Michael Barnett from Indiana, USA. Two years after the adoption, the parents changed the girl’s birth date to 1989, claiming she had adult teeth and was menstruating.
The documentary tells that the Barnetts moved to Canada in 2013 after Natalia allegedly tried to poison Kristine and drag her to an electric fence.
“I didn’t understand why I was alone. I just knew I had an instinct inside me to fight and survive,” she told People. Natalia also accused her former adoptive parents of assaulting her with pepper spray, a belt, and even prescribing excessive medication.
A DNA test conducted in 2023 estimated that Natalia was about 22 years old, which would mean she was around nine years old when abandoned.
The Barnetts were charged with neglect of a dependent, but Michael was found innocent, and the charges against Kristine were dropped. Natalia denied attempting to harm her former adoptive mother.
