Answers:
Start with Social Services (or the adoption agency) that handled the original adoption. Your mum should be able to tell you who handled this. When you speak with them you will register your interest in contacting your sibling.

Be warned, though, that this is not a straightforward process - you may not have an automatic right to be given details of where your brother is living and (depending on your age and your brother's age) the adoptive parents may have a say.

Your best bet is to have a chat with Social Services - they can tell you the full procedure and will give you personal advice as well. Looking for your estranged brother will be an emotional step for you, him and your mum.

Do think carefully about it (there is no rush!) and best of luck.
