She was born in Wisconsin - in Milwaukee or Waukesha county. She was in a state-run orphanage when she was adopted, and was probably placed there as an infant. I just leaned that her bio-mom's last name was Netsel (that's how it sounds, not sure of spelling).

Her given name is Janice Marie, but I'm not sure if that was her name at birth or if it was given to her later. Her adopted last name was Jorgenson.

A woman named Lois was the employee working at the orphanage that placed her with her adoptive parents.

Anything you can gleen from this info, or an idea where I should look from here? All suggestions welcomed!

First off you need to find out the adoption laws in Wisconsin. Search "adoption laws in Wisconsin".
Call the counties that you mentioned (adoption dept) and ask them to please verify the info that you have. Adoption records are usually held in the county where the adoption took place.
I had to do this when I was looking for my brother, as I wasn't SURE of anything! At least you have a birthdate. I didn't even have that!!
