Natalia Grace Finds a New Home with the DePaul Family
Natalia Grace Mans has moved on from her adoptive parents and now resides with the DePaul family in upstate New York. The DePauls are also little people, and Nicole DePaul had previously considered adopting Natalia as a child.
The DePauls took Natalia into their home after being contacted by her boyfriend, Neil. They picked her up from church without her parents’ knowledge.
Living with the DePauls has allowed Natalia to explore her dwarfism and gain independence. She appreciates the freedom she has with them but still misses her siblings.
Nicole DePaul states that she does not plan to adopt Natalia but considers her a part of their family. She trusts Natalia despite their occasional disagreements.
The DePauls are now Natalia’s primary advocates. They provide her with support and guidance as she navigates her adult life.
