I hadn't heard this before. Have you?
It is true that Lori was adopted..

Yes, I did hear that she was adopted and that it could make it harder to match it up. I don't know just how this will play out. In cases like this, I would suppose the original adoption agency would still have records of the birth parent/s and that those records could be subpoenaed. Or perhaps the state would have those records if the agency folded. Then a search could be made for those parents and samples obtained. For all I know, Lori's parents may actually be acquainted with those people and they may already have been contacted.
Early pregnancy screening may have included tests which revealed something more about Lori's blood than just her type, Rh factor, etc.; something unique to her or at least very uncommon; something that would show up from crime scene evidence as well.
Remote possibilities could include things like blood taken for autologous transfusion in anticipation of intraoperative losses (extremely unlikely in this case) or ova laid away for possible in vitro fertilization (the Hackings were reportedly having trouble reproducing).
You've asked a very intriguing question, as you so often do, Spunky.
"may be hard for them to match up the DNA on Lori Hacking since she was adopted."
Match what up to her DNA? I would assume there'd be plenty of DNA around that apartment with perhaps a hairbrush, comb, toothbrushe, and any number of other items. If they're worried about matching the blood (if there is any) with Lori seems to me they'd have much to choose from.
