I'm 16, and about five minutes ago I just found out I have a brother. My mother died about 4 years ago and she gave birth to my brother, gave him up for adoption and then met my current father. I'm sure their is more to this I don't know. I met my brother at my mothers funeral and I never even knew it. I don't know his name, or where he lives, but I need to find him. I'm at a loss for words. Any ideas on what to do? My mind is in a knot.

Ask your dad for your brothers phone number?

Mm,, yes another point is that I havent talked to my father in about half a year and they are not in touch anyways. When i was around 5 my mom tried to get into contact with bro but he didnt want anything to do with her. I'm not so much as asking the soldat community to help with the search obviously,, just uhmm what I should do because my head is in a total mindfuck mode right now, if you know what I mean.

Ask all your other relatives, I mean surely grandparents would know

There is a thing about SoldatForums that attempts to make people understand keeping personal real life poo out as much as possible, otherwise it would become yet another emoland.
And not because nobody cares but because not everyone around here are your close friends whom you could take advice from.

Unless his last name is Smith or something...

But even then, he's guaranteed results, just not helpful ones. =P

If his brother was up for adoption as an infant, odds are he has been raised under a different last name entirely.

Contact other people that were at the funeral and ask them? Surely one of them must know.

you can probably request information from whatever adoption service she used.

Find him and beat the hell out of him. You owe him for all the beating you should have given him when he was a kid.

It's just what older brothers do... it can't be explained.

hmm well ive found out his fathers name. and that his adoption parents were both schoolteachers in the same area ive lived most of my life which is kindof weird. they now live in Pennsylvania i dont know if he went along with. his first name is casey...so hey its been like a day and my search is going pretty good.

What the hell? My older brother did nothing but give me loads of cd's, dvd's, dos games, playboy mags, and advice.

jettlarue, maybe you could try going through old family records that might have been left behind?

Good luck. I really hope you two find each other. It'd suck if you didn't.

wait...
how could your mom die, then give birth to your brother, then find your father?

ds dude · « **Reply #18 on:** September 21, 2008, 08:16:53 pm »

The mom gave birth to the brother at some year, but then the mom died later on.

Well that's one reason you turned out the way you did. Good brothers beat the hell out of their youngerlings.
