Hi
I have an adopted brother too, who came to us about 8 months ago. Although he doesn't go to my school, and we will never be in the same school, and he doesn't have any dissabilities, I do know what you mean about them getting a bit annoying. My a.brother and I are 4 years apart and it seems sometimes that he gets EVERYTHING he wants and I find myself saying "I didnt get that when I was 12". I know the situations are quite a bit different, but in either case with having an adopted sibling they'll take away the spotlight just like a bio. sibling will do, and you have to try to just focus on other things and support your family in what they have taken on and try your best to help, while still making yourself known as a member of the family as well. Sometimes it's like being a parent yourself! hope I was of some help. Good luck!
