awesome! Which video did you get that from? I want to add a link to it on the timeline.I have screengrabs of the petition in the timeline I just made above
I didnt actually get them. I think it was @Dawn Day or @Medstudies who posted them back in the previous thread around page 50. I think they were originally from a past inside edition video about the case.awesome! Which video did you get that from? I want to add a link to it on the timeline.
Sure but the Barnetts probably thought if they made her 22 that would make her 18 when she got here and would invalidate her citizenship (which she got on the basis of being an adopted child). Kristine even made a point of saying in her Facebook live that Natalia was investigated by ICE. No one is gonna convince me this wasnt something they were at least hoping would happen to her.
Status and admiration. What a kind, Christian thing to do for this sorry creature. I dont know how you do it Kristine. You are such a saint. Etc etc.Right, based on fraud. What a mess. This poor kid. Those folks sound horrible.
Why did they even want to adopt a child?

Justice For Natalia Grace: Natalia Grace Barnett - Timeline Of Events
New Timeline. (open to suggestions for improvement!)
4th September 2003 - birth certificate date entry for Gava Natalia Vadymivna. Dwarfism identified at birth. Ukrainian birth mother, Anna Volodymyrivna Gava, gives her up on the advice of doctor and does not take her home from the hospital. Ukrainian orphanage state they received her as a baby in 2003.
2008 – Natalia is brought here from Ukraine through an adoption process. Adopted by the Ciccone family from NH. According to Nicole DePaul the family allegedly believed the child only suffered from rickets and were shocked to find she was much more severely disabled and would need over twenty surgeries.
2009 – A new prospective family of little people with the same condition as Natalia (Vincent and Nicole DePaul) intend to adopt her from the Ciccones. Natalia spends several weeks with them and their 4 year old daughter from August 2009 to Christmas. Ciccones are uncooperative with the DePauls and they eventually run out of savings and cannot proceed with the adoption. They have stacks of paperwork – adoption papers, medical reports and an IEP stating that Natalia is a small child with diastrophic dysplasia, scoliosis, hip contractures, equinus feet, etc. and is unable to walk far without assistance.
DePaul photos of Natalia with missing baby teeth and adult teeth coming in:

May 2010- child comes to the Barnetts. According to the birth certificate she is 6. According to the Barnett's she would've been 20 years old. Imgur
June 2010 - Pediatric endocrinologist, Dr. Riggs, estimates her age as 8 years old according to the affidavit. See below.
Nov. 2010 - child is officially adopted by the Barnetts. This is months after that first bath where they claim they saw she had full pubic hair and they believed she was not the age they were told. They went through with the adoption in November when she was 7 years old according to original birth certificate but according to the Barnetts she would be 21 in this photo Imgur
June 2012 - Skeletal survey done at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital shows child's age to be 11 according to the affidavit. (This matches with the first doctor’s finding)
June 2012 - Barnetts legally change the child's age to 22 in a probate court process. They do not mention the age assessments that showed she was a child in their “emergency ex parte petition” for which Natalia was not present and did not have legal representation to advocate for her: Petition for change of birth date
August 2012 – Kristine states Natalia was discharged from psychiatric care and they rented her an apartment “under the supervision of state healthcare provider Aspire Indiana”.
Sept. 2012 - Here she is supposed to be 9 per her original certificate. The Barnetts say she was 23 in this photo. They haven't yet left her. They have changed her age and her style of clothing. Imgur
April 2013 - The Spark memoir is published. (There is apparently no mention of the adopted daughter in the book but I have no idea what time range it spans). Mother immediately starts an intensive publicity tour.
July 2013 - the Barnetts rent an apartment in Lafayette for the child and leave her there. They move to Canada the same month so their 15 year old prodigy can attend university in Ontario. They pay the rent on the place for three months according to Michael and a full year according to Kristine.
August 2013 – Natalia is taken in by local couple Cynthia and Antwon Mans.
February 2014 – the Barnett's divorce after 19 year marriage and Michael moves back to Indiana.
May 2014 – official eviction from Lafayette apartment
February 2016 – moves to an adjacent state with Cynthia, Antwon and their children.
March 2016 - the Manses apply to be her guardians. The Barnetts object to the petition citing an age issue. They claim she is an adult. Barnetts produce a letter from Dr McLaren, the doctor who helped them change her age in 2012. (Note: The doctor incorrectly states that Natalia has spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita dwarfism – she actually has diastrophic dysplasia.) The case is dismissed without prejudice.
September 2019 – Kristine and Michael Barnett are charged with child neglect. Probable cause affidavit and state witness list: Acusación contra Michael Barnett

Long time lurker, but first time poster. The change of age petition is in this story here.
Warrants issued for Indianapolis parents accused of abandoning adopted daughter
That is right. Narcissists always do things that are all about them.
The saddest story is "Mommy, Dearest" by the adopted daughter of Joan Crawford, who basically adopted children for publicity. And expected them to be perfect at all times.
Which is why I am not impressed when stars adopt kids.
Right, based on fraud. What a mess. This poor kid. Those folks sound horrible.
Why did they even want to adopt a child?
Yeah do whatever you want with it! I don't care about getting credit or whatever lolThis is really good! Would you give me permission to use it elsewhere? The photo you used though of when they got her in may is not what she looked like when they got her. These are closer:

So cute.
The one you posted is from later. Here’s another from the same time period as you posted when they cut her hair more and I think it shows even more how young she was:
