I'm searching for my relatives in USA and I really need some help!My great-great grandparents emigrated to America sometime after 1902 and left my great grandmother, their only daughter behind. My grear grandmother (Alfhild) was adopted by Karoline and Olaf Olsen from Trondheim and since they were considered to be her biological parents I dont know who her "real" parents were. Alfhild was born in june 1902 and married Alf Bye. Where can I find any information about my great-great grandparents? Please help!

You could start with the baptism records. Check the on the "Statsarkivet i Trondheim" for her baptism in the church records for the different parishes in Trondheim. That should give you the names of the biological parents. (hope the 1902 records are open)
