Adoptions are a very confidential matter as information can only be viewed by the birth parents, adopted parents, or by your brother hisself. The search for your brother needs to begin with your moms involvement or his adoptive parents. If you know his name and if he is 18 or older you may be able to find him online.

Start with going to the hospitals first and see how much information you can get from them. Using his birthdate and social security number, go onto any websites that allow you to look at public records. Some websites might want you to pay to request more info.
