Natalia Grace

Natalia Grace (Barnett) Mans (born September 4, 2003)[1][2][3] is a Ukrainian-born American with dwarfism, who, in 2010, was adopted by an American family but abandoned by them two years later. Barnett's adoptive parents claimed that Barnett was a legal adult, and, in 2012, they successfully sought a court order legally changing her birth year from 2003 to 1989.[1] However, through an August 2023 DNA test, the health testing company TruDiagnostic estimated that Grace was about 22 years old,[i] meaning she was around 9 years old when her adoptive parents abandoned her.[2][3] Barnett is the subject of two television series, the 2023–2024 series The Curious Case of Natalia Grace (re-titled to The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks for season 2) and the upcoming Hulu TV series Good American Family.
