According to Michael Barnett, the change was made so that she could be legally admitted to a psychiatric ward.Īpparently there were a variety of alleged instances where she seemed to be an adult and not a child. Apparently now instead of saying she was born in 2003, it stated she was born in 1989 – making her legally twenty-two instead of eight years old. However, then in June 2012, her age was legally changed by the Barnetts with a court judge’s approval. By 2012 she was examined again by the hospital and declared eleven years old.
More specifically, it appears that when Natalia was first adopted in 2010, a physician did in fact examine and identify her as only eight years old. But in 2019, the now divorced couple were charged with neglect of a dependent in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. She was adopted in June of 2010, but her adoptive parents the Barnetts decided to change her age to 22 before abandoning her to move to Canada in 2013. In fact, according to the USA Today, the couple were apparently targeted for murder by Natalia on several different occasions.Īs their story goes, Natalia Grace was supposedly an Ukrainian woman with dwarfism, one which simply posed as a child. That’s right, it appears one couple has claimed that their adoptive Ukrainian daughter now named Natalia Barnett is actually an adult – just like the twist in Orphan.Īccording to the couple named Michael and Kristine Barnett – the two of which have since undergone a divorce – it appears their adoptive daughter which they thought was only eight years old at the time of adoption was allegedly a grown woman. In fact, it’s been recently announced that the popularity of Orphan has led to the development of a prequel titled Esther – and now that Orphan is once again as relevant as ever, it’s a good time to look back at one eerie case that seems like it came straight out of the movie.
