No. For him to adopt your son, your rights must have been terminated. That is a final action and you have no standing" to bring a suit. Standing is just a lawyer's way of saying that you have a right to do something.

Theoretically, if the brother were to relinquish his parental rights to you, you could adopt, but you would have to both agree on that.
