Natalia Grace Barnett is sharing her side of the story.
For those who need a refresher, Michael and Kristine Barnett adopted Natalia who was born with the rare genetic disorder spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia in 2010. They were told by the adoption agency that she was 6 years old at the time. However, they soon started to doubt her age – believing she was way older than she said. And in 2012, they convinced the Marion County Superior Court to legally change Natalia’s birth record to state that she was born in 1989 and not 2003.
Shortly afterward, the Barnett family put her in an apartment in Lafayette, Indiana, while they moved to Canada with their sons. Kristine and Michael were then arrested and charged with neglect in 2019. However, their charges were later dismissed. The now divorced couple have claimed for years that Natalia was not a child but instead, an adult woman who was trying to kill them and their kids.
