You'll need to get together as much info as possible - DOB is a good start. Here are some places I suggest to start -

First - add your details to the registries here
http://www.isrr.net/
http://registry.adoption.com/

Check for information on your state records here -
http://adopteerights.net/nulliusfilius/?page_id=39

Check here for search help - and links to search angels -
http://www.adoptioncrossroads.org/

All the very best with your search.

Possum and Heather gave excellent resources. It is fine to sign up with the registries and search angels even if you don't have the exact DOB. You clearly have other helpful information, such as her birth name, her natural mother's name and the year of the birth, that can assist registries and searchers. Don't get discouraged that you don't have the full date of birth.

When I started my search, all I had were first names. I've now been reunited for 7 years. It can be done.
