How can the character in the Horror film 'Orphan' have so many similarities with Natalia Grace Barnett?

The similarities are uncanny. Could there be a hidden message from the universe? Natalia Grace, Ukraine, lies, deceptions, Zelenskyy, etc.

[b]Who Is Natalia Grace Barnett?[/b]

Natalia was adopted by Michael and Kristine Barnett in April 2010 from Ukraine through an emergency adoption process. Upon bringing her back home to live with their biological sons, Jacob, Wesley and Ethan, the then-couple alleged that they witnessed their adoptive daughter showing signs of violence, including allegedly attempting to stab the family members, poisoning Kristine’s coffee and shoving her into an electric fence. They then became suspicious of her age, alleging that she was actually a fully grown woman living with a condition called spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita, a form of dwarfism.

In the May 2023 Curious Case of Natalia Grace three-part documentary, Michael alleged that he once woke up in the middle of the night to see Natalia “standing at the foot of the bed with a knife in her hand.” The docuseries delves into the Barnett family’s accusations against Natalia.

After living with her for nearly three years, the family moved to Canada in 2013, leaving the former orphan in a rental apartment alone in Lafayette, Indiana.

In 2012, Michael and Kristine petitioned to have Natalia’s birth year changed from 2003 to 1989. Though it was approved, the ex-spouses were charged with several counts of neglect in September 2019.

However, charges were dropped against the pair, with Michael’s being dismissed after his October 2022 trial ended that month and Kristine’s being dropped in March 2023 just three weeks before her trial was scheduled to begin.

[b]What Is ‘Orphan’ 2009 Movie About? [/b]

The horror movie focuses on the Coleman family who adopt a 9-year-old Russian girl named Esther, portrayed by actress Isabelle Fuhrman. After they bring her home, Kate Coleman (Vera Farmiga) starts noticing odd behavior from Esther, including her knowledge about adult-oriented topics.

Though Kate and her biological children become concerned over Esther’s violent demeanor, John (played by Peter Sarsgaard) doesn’t suspect a thing until Esther begins to take a romantic interest in him.

By the end of the film, it’s revealed that Esther is actually 33 years old, and her real name is Leena Klammer, a woman who has been living with a condition called hypopituitarism (a form of dwarfism that stunted her growth and made her look like a child).

Is there any way to truly prove if there was shady shit going on??? Also shame on thst family for leaving a known violent person alone in a country where its way to easy to get weapons!

@Justice4All Is my point not very valid?

@DiegoWolfe You have a valid point.

@Justice4All I just imagine this tiny ass gremlin wielding knives running around stabbing people
She obviously aged since she was adopted, so she wasn’t full grown. I do think the adoption agency did lie about her age but only by a few years (maybe she was 12/13? Plenty of girls are full into puberty then) to make her more adoptable.

@MorbidCynic I think you are right. That couple may have noticed she was slightly older than 6 (although she was still a minor) and perhaps they saw the movie and got freaked out.

Probably a case of fortelling. It happens a lot in movies and books.

@urfavoriteahole I don't believe in coincidences. Everything is connected. Just a matter of putting the pieces together.

@Justice4All I agree with that
