question about birth name

I was adopted through Children's Home Society in Roanoke, Virginia. Some years ago I got my non-id info from them. Since then I have noticed others with similar non-id info. I find this very suspicious.

Anyway, I also went to my local courthouse and researched the adoption decree and located papers where my name was changed. I have an older adopted brother and researched the same info on him. My question is this...where did that original name come from? Is it a name the agency gave or the foster parents? My adoptive brother had an unusual last name and I have seen two searches from others using the same agency and stating that thier birth last name was the same. I find this very odd!

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas.
