girl_from_uk Posted August 9, 2006 Report Posted August 9, 2006 They're not biologically brother and sister - i.e. they have no blood ties. But they've been brought up as brother and sister, and call each brother and sister. But, techinically, they're not related what-so-ever. I know they airent biologically brother and sister but they'll see each other and think of each other and care about each other as brother and sister as well as the other members of they family Yes.....as I said. Well it was just that to me you were not giving me that impression...to me you were saying the airent brother and sister because they airent blood related......

Foxy Posted August 9, 2006 Report Posted August 9, 2006 Yeees....because they're not related what-so-ever. But they've been brought up as brother and sister, and so see themselves as brother and sister. Such a hard concept to grasp?

Err no not really but think about hgow you explain things because they'll be people on here who are adopted who will aggree with what I say. I still believe they are related even though they arent biologically related
girl_from_uk Posted August 9, 2006 Report Posted August 9, 2006 Gaaah......I give up. Oh give up if you want...the reason Im typing lots about it is because im adopted and it annoyed me what you were saying about how they werent related at all what-so-ever. I know that im not blood related to any of the people I call family but I see them as my mam, dad sister etc even though i aint biologically related to them and they see me as a member of they family (well most do anyway) and they treat me like a normal member of they family. They've giving me the good upbriniging that I never had at the start of my life..
Foxy Posted August 9, 2006 Report Posted August 9, 2006 Yes, I get what you're saying. What I'm saying is they're not biologically related, and so technically aren't related. We're getting at the same point, we're just obviously not understanding how each other is phrasing it!

TabbyCool Posted August 10, 2006 Report Posted August 10, 2006 I think what Foxy is saying is that an adopted child will treat their adopted family the same way in which anyone else would treat their biological family. They share the same kind of love and have the same kind of relationship as any other family would, and for all legal and social reasons, they are classed as a "normal" family. However, the fact that they are not biologically related and share no bloodline does not mean that they love eachother any less, although they are not actually related. Family is more than just a shared bloodline for a lot of people, and just because you view someone as being your family, that doesn't actually make you related. We all have aunts or uncles who are family by marriage only, we see them as family, but they are not actually related to us at all, even though we have been brought up to see them as family.
