Have you registered with the different adoption forums that are online? There is a Yahoo group for adoptions, and also an adoption for MichiganSearching adoption sites. Here are the two groups that I am a member of. theadoptiondatabase@googlegroups.com and michigansearching@yahoogroups.com. Now you do not have to be a Michigan person searching for your birth family so sign up on these lists and the Search angels will be glad to help you. There is one search angel Joanne who lives in Arizona who once she gets your info she is able to find your birth parents sometimes immediately and or in short order. She and the others on list are really true search angels.
