Natalia Grace made headlines in 2019 when her adoptive family accused her of lying about her age. According to them, she was not the child she said she was, but in fact, a vindictive adult.
This is her story.
Watch: The Curious Case Of Natalia Grace trailer. Post continues below.
In 2010, American couple Michael and Kristine Barnett adopted Ukrainian-born Natalia Grace, who at the time was six years old, according to her legal documentation.
She was an orphan who had arrived in the United States two years earlier, and lived with several foster families.
Grace was initially welcomed into the family home and lived with the Barnetts and their three sons.
However, things took a turn two years later.
Over time, the Barnetts had become suspicious of Natalia's age. In 2012, they asked Marion County Probate Court to officiall change her age from eight to 22. This moved her birth year back from 2003 to 1989.
Following this petition, they moved Natalia into her own apartment in Indiana and relocated to Canada with their three sons. In the process, they cut all ties with Grace.
