The second season of a documentary series answers questions about whether a Ukrainian orphan was actually an adult pretending to be a child to fool her adoptive parents, who had persuaded a judge to change her legal age from 9 to 22 years old as they claimed she terrorized their family.

DNA analysis, dental records and an endocrinologists evaluation are offered as evidence of Natalia Grace Barnetts true age in Natalia Speaks, Investigation Discoverys second season of its 2023 blockbuster The Curious Case of Natalia Grace .

According to health and scientific professionals, Natalia was in fact a child in 2012 when Michael and Kristine Barnett petitioned an Indiana court to change the date on her birth certificate from 2003 to 1989. Shortly afterward, the couple moved to Canada with their three biological sons, leaving Natalia, who has a form of dwarfism, to fend for herself in apartments they rented for her in Indiana.
