If you adopted a child who had a brother who was adopted into a different family would you let them meet? - Daniel - 11-10-2012 12:08 AM
I have a brother that I havnt seen since I was three. He was adopted into a different family. I tried contacting him when we were both younger. The people that adopted him said that if I ever tried to contact him again, they would file a restraining order against me. Thanks to the wonders of facebook I have found him after 18 years of seperation. I am afraid of contacting him but I desperately want to. I am still afraid that his adoptive parents will try to stop me, should I add him as a friend and tell him our story?

Family is family. Blood is thicker than water. Don't allow anyone to come between you and your brother.

Just wait untill your older and you have your own home then contact him.

I would definitely want to know, after all it is your brother! And if you're 18 now, there's nothing his parents can do about you contacting him anyways. I say go for it! It'd be fun to catch up with him. Good luck

Add him as a friend and let HIM decide if he wants a relationship with you.
But do so with caution, because maybe they were trying to hide him from you because he doesn't know he was adopted.

That can't be the UK, can it?
Children here are usually encouraged to stay in contact with siblings and adoptive parents understand this.
I think you should make him a "friend" - you are both adults after all.

go for it , they cant stop you plus your brother is an adult , it has nothing to do with them

Your brother is at least 18 years old now. His parents cannot file a restraining order on his behalf anymore. If you want to try again to contact him, go ahead and give it a try.

Go for it. There is nothing to lose. If later he doesn't want to reconnect with you, it's his loss not yours.
