How could I find out more about my grandfather's adoption in Chicago in 1913?
Family story is he was left on the doorstep of an orphanage with a note reading, "Please take care of (his first name.)" I have always been curious about it.

Hey adoptive mom,
In this case, it sounds like you have no records of the last name, not even sealed records. You could do a DNA link to at least get a comprehension of your ancestors.

Go to Genealogy.com message boards and post a message with his details.
My co-worker posted one message at age 53 and found two sisters and a brother who were born 50 miles away and they reunited two years ago.
What was so impressive is, another family member had been maintining them in his family tree database as "unknown" children of a cousin. The cousin lived to a ripe old age, telling him about their births before she died.
Best wishes,
pup
