My parents adopted a boy from Mexico when I was a kid. My brothers hated him from the get go. They say things like he's not really part of the family and that he has no right to carry the name. One goes as far as to call him an enemy. What should I do? I don't want my family to fight.
How old was your adopted brother when he was adopted? How old was your youngest bio brother? I'm wondering if the animosity stems from childhood jealousy of the attention your parents may have shown towards your adopted brother.
That said, you can't control the feelings of others. Try to spend time with your adopted brother when your bio brothers aren't present.

Your brothers are very prejudice and that likely won't change. I would not allow them to emotionally hurt your adopted child. I think I would not have any contact unless they can come around... but don't hold your breath.

Tell your brothers they are acting like total unconscionable d-bags and they will ultimately come to regret their attitudes.
Wow. Brand new poster, who has already started 3 threads today, one of which has already been closed. Hmmmmm.
And the OP's family adopted from Mexico! Which is highly unusual because the Mexican adoption laws are so complex. But the OP's parents managed to do it, by golly. But wait! There's more! They also managed to raise sons who think the adopted kid is the enemy.
What a family! The neighbors probably consider them more entertaining than cable.
Wait until they betray him by selling him to slavery where one day he'll be a prince.
Lol nah, this reminded of the Joseph story in the bible - though they were his step brothers.
