Overview
- A 2023 DNA test estimated Natalia Grace's age to be approximately 22, confirming she was a child when adopted by the Barnetts in 2010.
- Medical evaluations from 2010 and 2012, including dental and skeletal exams, also supported Natalia's claim of being a minor at the time of adoption.
- The Barnetts legally reclassified Natalia's age to 22 in 2012, later abandoning her in an Indiana apartment in 2013 before moving to Canada.
- Natalia alleges abuse by the Barnetts, including being coerced into lying about her age; the Barnetts deny these claims, citing suspicions about her true age.
- Now living with the DePaul family in New York, Natalia is pursuing her GED and independence, while media portrayals like Hulu's 'Good American Family' bring renewed attention to her story.
