Couple Who Tried to Adopt Ukrainian Says She Is in Fact a Kid

A couple who hoped to adopt the Ukranian-born orphan Natlia say they have proof that she's a minor and not actually an adult posing as a child, as her former adoptive parents have alleged. Vincent and Nicole DePaul have a form of dwarfism similar to Natalia’s and say they wanted to adopt the orphan in 2009, before she was taken home to Michael and Kristine Barnett. The DePauls ultimately did not proceed with the adoption, but they say they can prove she's a child.
