I think it is possible to leave a message with the authority that the adoption was through in case your brother/half-brother decides to look for his birth family.

Is it possible that you were both adopted through the same agency? Do you have your own adoption file? I would get in touch with the relevant agency first of all to see if they can help.

There are people on this site who know a great deal more about adoption than me. Hopefully they will see your post and be able to help more.
