Conclusion
The outcome of this case has been difficult for everyone involved. The Barnetts maintain that they were duped by Natalia’s biological mother and truly believed she was a child when they adopted her. They have since said that they love Natalia and only want what’s best for her.
For her part, Natalia has expressed excitement at the prospect of finally getting to know her birth family. It remains to be seen what the future holds for all involved, but one thing is clear: this is a story unlike any other.
