First, please don't piggyback your question onto someone else's. When you do, it makes it harder for us to find and answer your question because it gets lost in the thread.
Second, there are a LOT of questions which have to be answered before we can even attempt to give you decent advice on this situation.
Is your brother the legal father of the children? Has he been established by either a court-ordered DNA test or by signing a paternity acknowledgment? If not, he needs to take that first step - otherwise he has no legal standing.
Who do the children live with now? Is there a court order granting your brother any rights to the children? Is he or was he married to the mother?
