We're on our break! But the new documentary from Natalia's point of view is coming out soon, so we thought this would be the perfect time to re-release these episodes, all together for you in one extra long episode, so you can catch up or refresh your memory before the new doc comes out!
Part 2 begins at 1:30 if you want to skip ahead! :)
Part 1: This is one of the most complex and bizarre stories we’ve covered: the story of Natalia Grace, a little girl adopted from Ukraine whose age and behavior ignited a global firestorm of controversy. When Michael and Kristine first adopted 6 year old Natalia, everything was great. Natalia was welcomed into the family, she seemed to fit right in. But after a few months, issues started to arise that caused the Barnett’s to question who Natalia really was. Was she an innocent child looking to be loved by her adopted family, or was everything about her a lie?
Part 2: Michael and Kristine Barnett are convinced that their adopted daughter, Natalia, is not a 6 year old little girl from Ukraine, but a psychotic adult imposter using her dwarfism to masquerade as a child. They manage to convince a judge that this is true, and after that life will get much, much more difficult for Natalia.
