Although Fuhrman's de-aging in Orphan: First Killwas achieved through a professional effects team, minimal CGI, and clever camera angles, it still shouldn't be that easy, and it really puts into perspective how adults can pass off as children through various techniques. If the team behind Orphan: First Kill can successfully turn a 24-year-old actor into an 8-year-old girl - then it's entirely possible that people like Natalia Grace and Barbora Skrlová are still victimizing real families out there. Disturbingly, the Orphan's real story may not be entirely over. This is part of what makes Orphan and Orphan: First Kill truly frightening movies. How Isabelle Fuhrman's de-aging in Orphan: First Kill was cleverly achieved through practical effects not only signals a refreshing return to the fundamentals of horror - it also makes it clear that the premise can all too easily occur in real life. Natalia’s age remains up for debate, and legal action is ongoing to reverse the changes to her birthdate that the Barnetts made. Michael, now divorced from Kristine, claims that the couple knew all along that Natalia was a child, but that Kristine convinced everyone to lie about her age.
Kristine still maintains that Natalia is a dangerous adult running a scam and that it wasn't child abuse. The Barnetts were charged with two counts of felony neglect of a minor. Maybe it really was a bad idea turning Orphan into a franchise. When asked about the case, Kristine specifically referenced the 2009 film saying, “ The movie Orphan is exactly what happened.” Legal charges were waged against the Barnetts in 2014 when Natalia reported to the police that she had been abandoned by her family. This was after Kristine began to suspect that Natalia was not actually a child and backs up this suspicion with Natalia’s sophisticated vocabulary, lack of interest in toys, and medical tests which supposedly show Natalia as having the bone density and teeth of a teen or young adult - though later tests dispute these conclusions. Later in 2013, they rented her an apartment and moved to Canada - based on Kristine’s belief that Natalia was dangerous and running a scam. Strangely resembling the twist in Orphan: First Kill, the Barnetts eventually legally changed Natalia’s age on her birth certificate to twenty-two years old in 2012.

Natalia had been in the US for about two years when she came to live with the Barnetts, after her last adopted family had given her up for undisclosed reasons. In 2010, they adopted six-year-old Natalia Grace from Ukraine she had a form of dwarfism that made it difficult for her to walk. Indiana couple Kristine and Michael Barnett were well-versed in raising children with special needs. After the original film's 2009 release, nearly 10 years later, a unique case came to light which may have been inspired by the Orphan's real story.
