In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אדולפינה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 186 — the same as the Torah word מקום, “place”. That number points to Torah page 186 of 354 — in the portion Tazria. What that portion is about: The woman after childbirth; the laws of tzaraat on skin and garments — the signs and the priest's inspection. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 13:4. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.

Adding up the letters of the name אדולפינה gives 186.
186
The number 186 is the Torah word מקום — «place» (Genesis 1:9).
then the priest shall look upon it; and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin, it is leprosy, it hath broken out in the burning; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
This is from the portion Tazria. What it is about: The woman after childbirth; the laws of tzaraat on skin and garments — the signs and the priest's inspection.
Other ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 186. A Torah word with the same number is מקום — “place” (Genesis 1:9).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 33. A Torah word with the same number is גל — “heap of stones” (Genesis 31:46).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 69. A Torah word with the same number is אביון — “poor, needy” (Exodus 23:6).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 807. A Torah word with the same number is תאות — “utmost bound of” (Genesis 49:26).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 9978.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 677. A Torah word with the same number is תבערה — “Taberah, desert campsite” (Numbers 11:3).
The letters that come out are תקפכומטצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 745. A Torah word with the same number is משתה — “feast, banquet” (Genesis 19:3).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 844. A Torah word with the same number is בשבעתיכם — “in your Feast of Weeks” (Numbers 28:26).

The name אדולפינה does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.
The verse of your name
There is a custom: at the end of the prayer one says a Torah verse that begins with the first letter of one's name and ends with its last. For אדולפינה these are א and ה. The Pentateuch has 49 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 13:4:
אל מקום המזבח אשר עשה שם בראשנה ויקרא שם אברם בשם ה׳
This is from the portion Lech Lecha. What it is about: “Go forth”: Abraham leaves Haran; the promise of land and offspring; the covenant between the pieces; circumcision.
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: אדולפינה = 186. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.

Each Hebrew letter has a number; a word's number is their sum (alef 1 … tav 400). The page is the remainder modulo 354: the Torah divided into 354 pages of 861 letters, as the lunar year has 354 days. Everything can be checked by hand.
