Natalia Grace (Barnett) Mans is a Ukrainian-born American with dwarfism, who, in 2010, was adopted by an American family but abandoned by them two years later. Barnett's adoptive parents claimed that Barnett was a legal adult, and, in 2012, they successfully sought a court order legally changing her birth year from 2003 to 1989. However, through an August 2023 DNA test, the health testing company TruDiagnostic estimated that Grace was about 22 years old, meaning she was around 9 years old when her adoptive parents abandoned her. Barnett is the subject of two television series, the 2023–2024 series The Curious Case of Natalia Grace and the upcoming Hulu TV series Good American Family.
