She was then adopted by US couple Kristine and Michael Barnett in 2010.
But the Barnetts soon began to suspect their adopted daughter was not actually a little girl but an adult with dwarfism.
They petitioned a court to change Natalia’s birth year from 2003 to 1989.
She was then given an apartment, a disability pension and left to fend for herself as a ten-year-old.
Natalia was then taken in by another couple.
