SOLVED. YA scifi novel adopted girl getting sick,learns she's a clone name is either Eve or starte with an E [s]

The main character was a teenage girl who I believe was about to turn 16, and is adopted. She somehow learns that there are other girls that look like her, and that they were all adopted and that they all died of some illness as they turned 16 (I think that's the age).

Somehow she learns that they are all clones and were created by some scientist who was trying to find a cure for his daughter or something (or wife?) of that same illness they have died of. He sent the girls for adoption, for some reason. And a close was born each year for at least 5 years, and their names started with the next letter of the alphabet for each year. So clone 1 was something like Amy, Clone 2 Brianna, Clone 3 a C name, etc.
The main character was named either Eve or Eva or something.

From what I remember of the cover, it was green and eluded to the importance of genetics, either through artistic double helix'or something along those lines.

I believe I read this book either in middle school or highschool, so let's say that the latest that it was published could be 2004, though in reality I think no later than 2002. I read it in paperback form, and got it from a Scholastic Book order.

I hope that's enough info, as it's all I can remember right now!

Thanks, but I'm sure that the main character's name started with an E, and that the previous 4 girls are dead before the story starts.

She only realizes she's a close part way through the book, and before that I believe she think she either didn't know she was adopted, or didn't put too much thought into her birth parents.

Other things I remember:

She starts looking into each of the other girls (not clear that they are clones yet?) who look like her, who also went through the same adoption agency as her.

The book follows her tracking down these girls, and trying to figure out what they were like, as well as how they died/ their symptoms and why there was a new girl born each year who looked identical to her. I feel like she had either a friend or sibling helping her, since she actually went to different places to track them down.

She didn't have super-powers, she was just starting to get sick with a mystery illness.

I keep thinking the title is something like E is for Eve, but there doesn't appear to be anything on it.

I found it through another "lost faves"styPeter Lerangisle message board.

it's called I.D. by Peter Lerangis and is apparently part of a series of completely unrelated stories. Which I did not remember at all.
