"Natalia Grace's True Age Revealed Amidst Shocking Allegations and Docuseries Finale"

The ID docuseries "The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks" reveals that a DNA test has confirmed Natalia Grace's age, supporting her claim that she was a child, not an adult, when adopted by the Barnett family. The Barnetts had accused her of being an adult posing as a child with harmful tendencies and had legally changed her age to reflect that belief. The DNA evidence indicates she was around 22 years old as of August 2023, meaning she would have been about 9 at the time of her adoption, contradicting the Barnetts' allegations. Michael Barnett was found not guilty of related charges in 2022, and charges against Kristine Barnett were dropped in March 2023.
