Many people want to know where the Barnetts are today ever since being charged for allegedly abandoning Natalia Grace, who was then believed to be a six-year-old girl.

Where is the Barnett family now?
In July 2013, Michael and Kristine moved to Canada with their three biological sons - leaving their adopted daughter, Natalia Grace, alone in an apartment in Lafayette, Indiana.
Before filing for divorce in 2014, the pair adopted Natalia, who they believed to be six years old.
However, very quickly after welcoming her into their home, strange and dangerous occurrences started to happen.
Michael and Kristine claimed their foster child attempted to harm them and their kids on multiple occasions.

Kristine even claimed Natalia tried to once poison her coffee.
"We were told by doctors, 'This person is a sociopath. This person is a con artist. You are all in danger,'" Michael told Good Morning America.
"Natalia would do things like place clear thumbtacks on the stairs face up so that when we would walk up the stairs we would be stepping on thumbtacks to pain and injure ourselves."
In September 2019, the pair were charged with counts of neglect of a dependent, neglect of a dependent causing bodily injury and conspiracy to commit neglect of a dependent for the then-alleged abandonment of Natalia in 2013.

Following a trial, however, Michael was found not guilty of three counts of neglect and conspiracy to commit neglect of a dependent in October 2022.
Kristine's charges were also dropped in March 2023.
Who is Natalia Grace?
Natalia Grace was born with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita - a form of dwarfism often referred to as SEDc.
She is an orphan from Ukraine who was adopted by Michael and Kristine Barnett on April 26, 2010, who believed she was six years old.
It wasn't until forensic evidence was presented during the trial that Natalia's birthdate was revealed to be September 4, 1989, instead of 2003.
In December 2023, her biological mother alleged Natalia was born in 2003 and was a child when the Barnetts adopted her.
