I'm not sure what the scam is? It's highly unlikely an agency would have a couple with false name & information. They have to verifiy all of this and a true adoption is a legal process.
Have you verified if there was an actual agency used? Do you think any step of the process was legal? If the scam involves them just handing the baby over to another couple and falsifying a birth certificate without any legal process involved, that could be a kidnapping and your brother should contact the police. Have you asked your brother if any money was involved? If you think a crime is involved here, you should call the police.
Did they sign anything? If so, do they have copies of what they signed? There's usually a 30 day period and some time after (depends on state) to revoke if there is fraud involved. If your brother & girlfriend have any documents/contracts, they should contact an attorney to look into it.
However, if neither parent (your bro or his girlfriend) is looking for her or wanting to change their mind, and it's just you and family trying to locate her, it's doubtful you'll be able to do anything. You and your family do not have legal claim to the child. (this is assuming this was a true adoption)
