[Chloe O]

okay so im 37 and my mum had given my older brother up for adoption when he was just a baby due to personal reasons and recently she has came to the idea of wanting to get to know him and ive been trying to find a good website to track down family members ive tried ancestry, facebook, zababoom or something and none of it's worked out for me.

Have you heard of a programme on itv called Long Lost family? It is a programme where they find relatives such as your older brother and track him down and in every episode I have watched, which is a lot, they always find the relative. The only thing is you would have to appear on tv but the researchers are amazing and go to great lengths to find the relatives.
Here is a link to their application form - http://www.itv.com/beontv/long-lost-family/
Hopefully this might help you, of course quite a few people will apply for the programme but I see situations like this all the time on the programme so you should have a pretty good chance

If you would not like the idea of going on tv, I know someone who has tracked their mother down after a long long time after she was adopted and she asked an old relative who turned out to know where her Mother was living and she met up with her.

Good luck and I hope I helped
