I want to find my brother - Any ideas on how to do it

bawoodsmall wrote: I want to find my brother. He was in trouble a ton as a teenager and in his 20's with the law and drugs. He spent time in prison. We were never close because of some issues between us. My mom slept with her purse because he would steal from her. She would hide his shoes so he wouldnt run away. He did anyway. He got many tickets for speeding and didnt pay them and doesnt have a liscence.

Just a background on him.

6 years ago his girlfriend and he had a child together. He started straightening his life out and became a part of our family again. They moved about 3 hours away but we still saw them. She decided she wanted something else in her life and left him. He still doesnt have a vehicle and my mom and dad continued to go get him so he could see his child. My mom got sick of it and told him he needs to start paying back his fines and get his sh.. together. We have not heard from him since and that was 2.5 years ago. She has tried the number we had and has went up there and he is not at the same place he lived then. I dont know why but I really want to see him but dont know how to find him. He may be still doing some bad things(I honestly dont know) but it makes me want to cry to think he may think we dont still love him. HE IS MY BROTHER...I WILL ALWAYS LOVE HIM. I may hate his choices but still love him kwim. I tried putting in his name into a yellow pages where he lived last and got a number. I tried it but it was disconnected.

Does anyone have any ideas? Sorry this got long...I understand if noone has the time to read it.

This web site has a scary amount of information - so it may help.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I'm sorry. I can kind of understand where you are coming from. I hope you are able to find him, hun.

You can do reverse phone number on www.yellowpages.com and see if you can get any type of address or etc for the number that is disconnected.

BAC'sMom replied: Try Public Records in his last known area. Google, Myspace, Zabasearch and Switchboard are good search engines to try.

I found my Nephew on Myspace in 2006. I lost contact with him when he was 5 after my Brother and SIL got divorced and she left Texas with both boys. So 13 years later we were able to reconnect and get to know each other.

Good luck to you keep the faith and don't give up

Just a cautionary word from personal experience~while preparing yourself for a nice reunion (in your mind), also be sure to prepare yourself for the fact that he *might* continue to reject his family. I can tell you from personal experience that this sometimes does happen. It would not deter me from my goal, but you don't want a big emotional fallout if you find him and it happens.

This is actually why I have waited so long. I have been thinking about it for at least 6 months. I am worried that I will find him and he wil go back to his old behavior as far as stealing from family and stuff and all of our family will blame it on me for finding him. That scares the crap out of me. I also dont know why but I feel like I cant talk to my fam about me finding him. Almost like it is something I need to do for myself. For anyone still reading I have an address or what yellow pages may say is an address. Should I send a letter? I also have the option of getting neighbors numbers but I dont know if I could call them and be like hey does my brother live by you. I am not that crazy. I dont think I could drive up there because I would need to talk to him first because of his previous lifestyle. If he is still in that lifestyle I cant let him in our life right now. We have 2 small children. I just need him to know that we love him and miss him.
