You should be over the age of majority in your community.
Have you talked to your parents? They may know who and where your birth parents are. That could save you an immense amount of searching.

Can a teenager choose a parent if that parent signed over rights when the child was a baby but is now in that child's life?
If you are living with adoptive parents but would rather live with a biological parent, I would suggest that you talk to your adoptive parents about it and see if some agreement can be reached. As a teenager you are old enough to be ready to at least start making your own decisions about how you want to live your life. But if your adoptive parents don't agree, I wouldn't advise you to fight about it - at least, not unless they are physically abusive, in which case you can apply to the courts for a legal remedy. Of course, by the age of 18 you will legally have the right to live where you choose and associate with whom you choose.

The law that says you are a minor and your parents decides over you.

That is not legally enforceable though and the adoptive parents can change their mind at any time.

You can if the adoptive parents are willing to give them up, if not you are in for a fight. They are legally someone else's child who is part of someone Else's family now. You could try to get to see them and be part of their lives. If the adoptive family is reasonable they would want you as a sibling to be part of the brothers lives. You should contact the caseworker.
