UK - How can I find my family?

Recently I’m really battling self-identity issues. For reference, I’m 18F.

I’ve always wondered about my birth family, ever since I was little. I even went as far as writing letters to my birth mum in true Heather Feather style (I know).

I’ve been wanting to change my name back to my birth name, I even have the documents ready to witness and sign. Just don’t know how to feel about it.

I tried searching for my mum a few months ago, going to her listed address on my birth certificate, following dead ends etc. I want to know how I can go about chasing this up, finding family etc.

I don’t really have anyone else to ask so here I am. Adoptive family are certainly not supportive of this but my partner and close friends are, so I do have a support system. Anything helps, TIA.
