A new docuseries delves into the controversial life of Natalia Grace, a Ukrainian orphan accused of impersonating a child and attempting to harm her adoptive parents.
Natalia Grace , the Ukrainian orphan with dwarfism whose former adoptive parents accused her of posing as a child and trying to kill them, is back in the spotlight. A new documentary reveals troubling allegations regarding Grace’s latest adoptive family and how she came to find a new home.
“Who is the real Natalia? How does she really feel about the Manses? Are they still controlling her?” legal expert Beth Karas said in an exclusive clip from “The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: The Final Chapter,” shared with TODAY.com. The Investigation Discovery docuseries “The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: The Final Chapter” airs on Jan. 6 and Jan. 7. The four-part series, also available to stream on Max, follows “The Curious Case of Natalia Grace” (2023) and “The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks” (2024). In the third season, we reunite with Grace in happier times, which are short-lived. Below, a look at Grace’s journey through three homes and sets of parents, which has been documented in the ID series. What happened between Natalia Grace and her first set of adoptive parents, Michael and Kristine Barnett? Grace was adopted by Micheal and Kristine Barnett of Indiana in 2010. After the adoption, the Barnetts, who have three other children, suspected that Grace was an adult pretending to be a child, which Grace has denied. According to Grace’s Ukrainian birth certificate, Grace was born in 2003. Grace’s age has been a controversial focal point of the docuseries — according to an affidavit obtained by NBC News, 2010 hospital records showed she was about 8 years old, while 2012 records showed she was approximately 11. In “Natalia Speaks,” a DNA test suggested that Grace’s age was “closer to 22,” which made her approximately 7 years old at the time of her adoption, according to the series. The Barnetts wound up legally changing Grace’s birth certificate to reflect a birth date of 198
