So
My oma recently passed, my heart is broken she was my world.
im trying to find out some things about her life. She was born in 1932. Her mothers last name was wolf. My oma was put in an orphanage, i do have her moms name but i can’t find anything on her. Or the sister i know she had. I don’t know who her dad is. She was born in Wiesbaden biebrich Germany. Her adopted parents last name was hohn (mothers maiden name) and bieser (dads last name) where they lived in barstadt by schlangenbad i can’t find anything on them either she loved them dearly and i would like to know about them too

Do you have the exact birthday of your grandmother?
I would suppose that you contact the Standesamt (registry office) in Wiesbaden (https://www.wiesbaden.de/vv/produkte/31/141010100000124268.php). They will have the original birth record of your grandmother. You need to make clear (and probably prove with documents) that you are a decendant of the person whose record you ask for. In Germany, birth records are not publicly accessible for 110 years; only direct decendants may require a copy.
The email address for ordering a birth record copy is: urkunden@wiesbaden.de

I have my Omas birth certificate. It’s her mom i can find nothing on. Her mom Never put a name for the dad on there. I know she had a lot of other children but we only know the name of one of the others. My oma was about 6 when she was taken out of the orphanage. I don’t know the orphanage because she was so little she didn’t remember. I can’t even find anything on her “adoptive” family. They never really adopted her since it was so long ago she said they didn’t really do that back then but i have their names.

There are some Bartsadt records that may be available at your nearest Family History Center (FHC). Civil marriage register for 1874-1930 and births 1874-1900. If her adoptive parents married in Barstadt before 1931 you might find the registry of their marriage.
You would have to tediously look through the records one by one starting in 1930 and work backwards. Fortunately, Barstadt is a fairly small village so there will not be many marriages per year. If you are lucky you will find the marriage record and it will have their age or birthdate and place of birth.
However, since they "adopted" your Oma about 1938 they may have married after 1930 and so the record would not be on this film. But if you have a FHC nearby it would certainly be worth the effort to look through the Barstadt marriage registry.
Here is a description of the film number and records available. The key symbol above the camera means that these records are digitized and should be accessible at a local FHC.

FHC= Family History Center.
When you log on to familysearch.com you'll see some icons on the top right near your name. Click on the question mark icon and a small window will open. Click on the first selection to find the nearest FHC to you. Most are located in a local church. They are staffed by volunteers who have an interest in geneology so you'll need to check what days/hours they are open. They will have a variety of resources including computers where you can access some sites like Ancestry.com etc for free. You don't have to be a member of the church to use the FHC. I'm not a church member and my local FHC has always been very welcoming and helpful.
Here's a picture of the page with the window open:
