Are there any studies or ongoing research projects on adoptees who have found full siblings late in life and their interactions/commonalities?

I was adopted into a violent, alcoholic, and very abusive family. The state did nothing even after the school counselor called CPS when I came to school with a swollen face. The adoptive mother continued to abuse me until I cut her off in my mid 30s. I've heard many other similar stories. It's funny how adoptive parents are vetted with even a quarter of the scrutiny that the state uses to target parents.
