hi i have tried as much as i can think of.

My mum gave her son up for adoption in 1974 when he was born reason she was too young to have a kid, but now I would like to find my brother but i dont know how to go about it.

Could people give ideas please, I would like ideas on looking for free and looking on the internet.

Hi Tracey,

Is your mother ok, with you tracing your brother, if so find out of her which agency arranged the adoption, and see if they would be willing to help you in your search or at least let you put a letter in his file telling him you would welcome contat., in the meantime you can enter your mothers details on here, in case he joins and enters her details.
Also try posting on the following sites

Good Luck with your search !

Hi,
Do a search for the thread on the Tips Board for
"adoption/hints and hugs from other adoptees".
There should be several and they are a goldmine of information.
Bye & good luck
Paul
