What is the name of your state? IN
How would I find out if my bio daughter's father is on the putative father registry? He is not on her birth certificate. Would I need an attorney to find this out or is it something I could do on my own?
Based on what you have described about him, its really VERY unlikely that he is on the putative father registry.
However:
A putative father registry has been established to determine the identity and location of an undisclosed putative father who may have conceived a child for whom an adoption petition has been or may be filed in order to provide notice of the adoption to the putative father.
A "putative father" is a man who may be a child's father, but who is not married to the child's mother on or before the date that the child is born or who has not established paternity of the child in a court proceeding before the filing of an adoption petition for the child. A putative father whose identity is not disclosed by the child's mother to an attorney or agency arranging the adoption, must register to be entitled to receive notice of the child's adoption.
To register, contact:

FYI, it took me exactly 60 seconds to find that information on the Indiana Government website. There is a ton of information there.
