Given an ellipse $C$: $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 (a > b > 0)$, where the upper vertex of $C$ is $A$, and the two foci are $F_{1}$ and $F_{2}$, with an eccentricity of $\frac{1}{2}$. A line passing through $F_{1}$ and perpendicular to $AF_{2}$ intersects $C$ at points $D$ and $E$, where $|DE| = 6$. Find the perimeter of $\triangle ADE$.
