In my eagerness for a good rant I forgot to ask, does your mother know her original birth family name? If that were the case then I see little point in having the counselling necessary to find that out. There is nothing to prevent her from obtaining her original birth certificate if she knows what name it is in. It can even be obtained online if she was born in Engand or Wales. (not sure about Scotland & N Ireland) The original birth certificate is the starting point to any family tracing. It is unlikely (but not imposible) that any other adoption records survive from that time.
