Darolyn Bellemeur was adopted in 1972 through a Jewish agency in Riverside, California. In her twenties, determined to learn the truth of her beginnings, she navigated closed records and bureaucracy until finally receiving a three-page letter from Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services in Los Angeles.     That letter — a simple packet of typed pages — unveiled a world of family history: a sixteen-year-old Jewish mother from Tennessee, a grandmother who controlled the adoption decision, siblings she had never known, and a teenage father of Irish descent. For the first time, Darolyn was given glimpses of the people and circumstances that shaped her life story. From those fragments, she pieced together clues, calling cemeteries, chasing down a last name, and finally connecting with her birth parents.        Reality Life with Kate Casey  What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com  Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey  Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey  Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca  Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245  Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey  Like it to Know It: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecasey See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
