She was adopted by the Earl and Countess of March and Kinrara. These kind people later became the Duke and Duchess of Richmond. At the time, her adoption was quite unusual because of her mixed heritage. However, her adoptive parents were very loving and supportive.

Personal Details
For a long time, children who were adopted by peers (people with noble titles) did not automatically get a noble or courtesy title. However, this changed on April 30, 2004. A special document called a Royal Warrant was issued. This document made it so that all adopted children of peers would automatically receive the same titles as biological children. Because of this change, Nimmy March became known as Lady Naomi Burke from that date onwards.
Nimmy March married Gavin Burke in 1999. They later divorced. They have three children together:
