Because some adopted persons and birthparents search for each other after the child has grown into adulthood, many states have established registries that will provide identifying information if both the birthparent and the adopted adult are registered. (A few registries also require the registration of the adoptive parents.)
The following states have established mutual consent registries as of this writing: Arkansas, California, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia.
Some states have enacted "search and consent" laws, allowing adopted adults to contact the state social services department or an adoption agency and request the birthparent(s) be located. If the birthparent(s) are located, consent is sought to provide identifying information to the adopted person. The following states have search and consent laws: Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Four states have open records as of this writing: Alaska, Hawaii, Kansas and Tennessee. Oregon has an open records law on the books, but it is currently under court challenge.
Good luck!

I don't know any Sleads, if you know or think you have any family
left in the area. Like elderly people that might remember start there. If not do a records search in that area. I hope that you find
your daughter. You could always hire a private detective to do a
search for you. But if you do make sure he, or she is a reputable
person.
