About a year ago we had a similar situation with a never-nursed
adoptive mom.  She came with her Lact-Aid (the supplemental one, not
the tablets ypu add to milk) and nursed right from the start.  It
was a private adoption, but still subject to state laws.  I
suspected it might be a surrogate situation, but that was never
discussed.  I think the biggest drawback would be your state's laws
on when a baby can go to prospective adoptive parents.  Some require
a lengthy stay in a foster home which can make it harder to
establish nursing.  In the case I cited, the foster mom had already
been determined and arrangements had been made for the prospective
adoptive mom to visit and nurse frequently.
 I suspect that if that had happened early in my carreer at that
hospital, I would have heard negative comments.  Instead the staff
couldn't wait to tell me "You'll never guess what's going on in room
XXXX!"  Many were surprised, but most were asking intelligent
questions.  At times I wonder if I've made any difference, but when
I have an experience like this I am reassured that change in
attitude can happen.
