It is likely she was adopted in the state in which she was born. Different states have different disclosure laws. Also, there are various registries and search groups available for different states.

The International Soundex Reunion Registry is a worldwide registry. You can sign up with it at http://isrr.net.

Also, update your question with the state so that you can receive answers that are specific to your state.
