Natalia Grace Reclaims Narrative While Living with DePaul Family

The Ukrainian orphan, whose life has been marked by controversy and legal battles, is now focused on education, personal growth, and surgeries for her dwarfism.

Natalia Grace, now living with the DePaul family since 2023, is pursuing her GED and preparing for surgeries related to her condition, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita.
A TruDiagnostic DNA test confirmed Natalia was approximately 9 years old when adopted by the Barnetts in 2010, refuting claims that she was an adult at the time.
The Hulu series 'Good American Family' and the docuseries 'The Curious Case of Natalia Grace' explore conflicting narratives of her adoption and alleged abuse by the Barnett and Mans families.
Natalia has accused both the Barnetts and the Mans family of abuse, with witnesses alleging physical mistreatment by the Mans family after her adoption in 2023.
Now 22 years old, Natalia is focusing on reclaiming her story, building her future, and maintaining a relationship with her boyfriend, Neil.
