Adams was born in New York City to William Yarmy, a Hungarian Jew, and Consuelo Morgan, a Catholic of Dutch and Irish heritage;[1] he was not raised in any religion but became a practicing Catholic later on in his life.

...was born Donald James Yeary to an Irish Catholic mother and a Hungarian Jewish father. Both families had disowned his parents for marrying outside their faith, but his mother secretly baptized him at birth.....He decided that religion was illogical, and when he joined the Marines, under "religion" he wrote "none". He was infected with malaria during the battle of Guadalcanal, and was not expected to live, but he told the nursing staff, "I'm not going anyplace." He has said that this is when he returned to the Catholic faith, as he prayed to survive. Yeary remained too ill to return to fighting before the end of the war.
