Please tell us why you think the bio mother is Lisa S.
-------------------------------------------
I have seen real documents which should mention the name you have for the biological mother but they do not.
Please let us know how you found her if and when you do. Multiple members like to read about success stories so........
The bio mom wrote a letter to her adopted out son. She signed it Lisa Schneider. Said his two year old sister had died in a fire. When he found the letter he was 7 or 8. He didn’t know the date of the letter. She stated she was glad he was with a good family. That’s all he remembers of the letter. We want to obtain his adoption papers in hope that his BM is open to him ever wanting to find her. Wish I assume she would if she wrote the letter to him.
What documents have you seen if I may ask.
What I found was the Lisa Schneider that lived at the address in the article in news paper. The paper actually has the numberss transposed. It says she lived at 102 Nelson but it was actually 201 Nelson. I found that thru BeenVerified.

I had to get a new version of my web browser and I lost all my bookmarks. I'll have to try to find the websites. Kevin Baker died in 1997 and his obituary did not mention her.
Your nephew found you with DNA so maybe he can find others linked to his bio mom. I know someone who is good at analyzing DNA results if you want.

I found this, from Battle Creek Enquirer, February 11, 1990. It seems to match with your description of the house fire, except for the age of your nephew when it happened. Leila Hospital is in Battle Creek.
"fire, at 102 Nelson killed Shelby Leigh Schneider, daughter of Lisa Schneider, of Kalamazoo. Schneider's fiance, Kevin L. Baker, suffered smoke inhalation in the blaze and is in stable condition at Leila Hospital. The house is owned by Baker's father, Dennis Baker." https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/206439635/
I found burial information. Shelby died in that fire and was born June 18, 1987 and died Feb. 2, 1990 matching that newspaper article. She is buried Saint Marys Cemetery
Marne, Ottawa County, Michigan.
Why buried there? Maybe some clue.
I had a feeling Marne was a clue. Shelby's grandmother is buried there.
I just found this obituary. It's time to search & contact relatives
and search for Lisa Warrick (?)
Did Lisa S. remarry after 1997 and before 2014?
Darlene "Dee" Schneider, age 62, of Marne, passed away April 7, 2014 after a courageous 2 year battle with cancer. Darlene was born to Harold and Phyllis (Nickerson) Holley who preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Michael; granddaughter, Shelby and sister Jo-Ann Nickels. Darleen worked at TADD Industries in Marne for over 30 years and had just retired. She enjoyed spending time with her family especially her grandchildren and loved to garden.
She will be deeply missed by her two daughters,Lisa Warrick and Tara (Thomas) Dowd;
three grandchildren, Jenna, John and Corey;
The article on the fire said she was 21 (1990). Today age 54-55 I guess.
---------------
I just located Tara (Thomas) Dowd address. (Lisa's sister)
The Op can decide how they want to proceed.
Since the Op said that her nephew's mom had sent him a letter that greatly reduces the risk of a phone call.
If it's the wrong one no problem. If it's the right one they should welcome the call.
I do have an address for the L. Warrick in TN and care can be taken to make sure we are sure of the names, etc.
