About Natalia Grace's adoption

The story of Natalia Grace commenced in 2010 when Michael and Kristine Barnett adopted her. She was believed to be six years old, but questions about her actual age soon emerged based on her physical and behavioral profile. The Barnetts accused her of acting like a child, which created an extensive legal fight for guardianship and her age.

After two years, the Barnetts left for Canada, abandoning Natalia in an apartment in Lafayette, Indiana. Within months, she befriended Antwon and Cynthia Mans, who took on a parental role, thinking she was a minor in need of care.

In 2016, they tried to obtain Natalia's legal guardianship, but a judge declared that she was an adult. Still, she remained with the Mans family. They publicly supported her in her struggles with the Barnetts and appeared on shows like Dr. Phil to advocate for her well-being.

Recent developments in Natalia's life

As of January 2024, Natalia has vacated the home of the Mans family but resides with friends, according to a report by People dated January 2, 2025. Cynthia Mans assured that though the couple is not living together for now, their communication lines are always open. She hopes to clear up the issues that may have cropped up in their relationship.

The Mans family had adopted Natalia after some years of her care amidst a series of legal battles involving her age and identity. The final episode of the docuseries The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks ended with dramatic tension between Natalia and the Mans family.

In a surprising turn of events, Antwon Mans said on the phone that something was off about Natalia and that she had betrayed him. He said that she was making them out to be enemies, which is why they said they were "done" with her. However, Cynthia said they were still connected and could work through their problems.

Cynthia Mans responded in a video released after the last series, indicating there was still more to see in their dynamics in the later installments. This increased attention has touched the sides of both camps. For instance, it is difficult for Mans to navigate being the guardian over previous accusations leveled by the Barnetts.

Natalia's life also does not become less complex as she journeys to a state of freedom in the same world that haunts her with dark secrets.
