In thinking about the Barnetts,
when you first went there, were you happy?
I was.
Were they happy with you?
Yes.
Did you feel loved there?
I did, at first.
Feel like you belonged?
Yes, I actually thought I had found the right family
after bouncing around from all them families.
I thought I had found the right family for me.
Thought this was your home.
Yes.
They accepted you?
Yes, when first they met us, yes.
You felt safe there?
Yes.
What was your first clue that it was heading
down a bad road?
It was after my surgery when she started questioning
about my age.
And then like, everything started happening after
that one moment.
Michael and Kristine Barnett claim Natalia tried
to poison their coffee, stood over their bed
as they slept, told them she wanted to kill the children,
and even tried to push Kristine into an electric fence.
"Daily Mail TV" got an exclusive interview
with Natalia's adoptive mother.
I wanted Natalia to respond to what Kristine Barnett
had to say.
You've seen some of this, but I wanted
to give you a chance to respond to it.
This was, from day one, a mission of love.
We were told in the medical paperwork
that we had that she was six years old.
Okay, now, in the medical paperwork they had,
they were told she was six years old.
Mm-hmm.
And then they say that you're a scam artist.
You didn't give 'em the medical paperwork.
Someone had to provide that.
If there's a scam here, it doesn't emanate from you.
Right.
Here's another one.
I was putting her into the bathtub
and I noticed that she had full pubic hair.
I noticed clothing in her closet
that contained at least some remnants of a menstrual cycle.
Okay, and she's talking about at this time,
you were supposedly eight years old?
Yeah, I was almost eight.
And she noticed these secondary sexual characteristics.
Did she talk to you about that?
No.
She's been with us for almost seven years.
To this day, she does not have a menstrual.
Not one.
Kristine did not say anything about bloody clothing
or anything to me.
And she said that I had one and she had me use a tampon,
and ever since then, I've never.
So she had you use a tampon one time.
Yes.
And there was spottage I guess.
I don't know why.
And she was like, see, that's blood.
And that's probably.
Mm-hmm, yeah, yeah.
She was hiding knives in our couches.
She was talking about she was gonna kill family members.
She'd be standing in the middle of the room
and she would say, I'm waiting for the right time.
She poisoned people.
She put chemicals in the coffee.
Did any of that happen?
No.
She said that I hid knives on top of the fridge,
under the fridge, in the cabinets.
Even on her office desk.
How did you get something on top of the refrigerator?
I can't even reach it, not even with a chair.
I couldn't reach it.
You can't get to the top of the refrigerator, right?
No, I can't.
You were cleaning.
Yes.
You were helping her clean.
Yes.
And she says you sprayed bleach in her coffee.
It was Lemon Pledge for tables.
And she actually has footage of you doing that.
So we had missed a spot, so what I did
was I scooted the chair over so I could get up there,
and I scooted her coffee back so I could grab the thing,
'cause it was in front of it.
So I scooted it back and I grabbed it.
She came out and was like, what are you doing?
And then she claimed that I tried to spray it in her coffee.
You could look in her coffee.
There was nothing.
Did you ever stand at the foot of their bed,
around their bed, in their room, watched them sleep
with a knife in your hand?
No.
Never.
Did you ever want to stab them?
No.
Did you ever make plans to stab them.
No.
If I ever went in their room, it was to wake them up
because I was either scared of a nightmare
or something like that.
But I never went in their room.
I didn't, really.
But is there any reason that they would have
like Nanny Cam footage, hidden camera footage
of you standing at the end of the bed with a knife
in your hand?
No.
