Finding an adopted brother? Any good search agencies?

Question

My mother gave up her first born about 50 years ago. She was sent to the Sarah Fisher Home in the Detroit area. How can I find him?

Answer 1

well first things first you need to locate his birth certificate so you know when he was born. In Michigan unfortunately, the cost of doing such things as requesting vital records is expensive. In fact, I've found that requesting $27 Social Security records are often better and cheaper than the cost of Michigan records. Especially in Detroit.

If you have an idea about his adopted name it would be of help to someone assisting you.
