== Biography ==
DeMeyer was born on September 9, 1956 in St. Paul, Minnesota and was adopted in Wisconsin in 1957. When she was 22, DeMeyer began investigating her adoption, which was one of many that stemmed from the Indian Adoption Projects. She was able to open her sealed adoption records, and with the information she found in her adoption file, DeMeyer spent the next 27 years looking for and connecting with her biological relatives.
Her memoir, ''One Small Sacrifice: Lost Children of the Indian Adoption Projects,'' chronicles the story of her adoption, and comments on both the history of the adoption of Native American children and its effect on those who were adopted. DeMeyer is an advocate for other Native American adoptees who are trying to discover their heritage. Her advocacy led to her and fellow adoptee Patricia Busbee compiling many Native American adoptee stories into the anthology ''Two Worlds: Lost Children of the Indian Adoption Projects''.
DeMeyer's past has influenced her career, leading her to write for, and about, Native American tribes across the country. She is often involved in important events related to the Native American population. DeMeyer interviewed political prisoner Leonard Peltier in 1998, while he was still a prisoner in Leavenworth, a federal prison.〔 In 2001, DeMeyer also attended the first intertribal Wiping the Tears Ceremony that was held in Wisconsin, where a public apology was issued by Shay Bilchik, who was the director of the Child Welfare League of America at the time.〔
