But... they are brothers, right?
My sons are 7 months apart and I get "are they twins?" and I just say "one of them is adopted". There is never any question that they are brothers, though. Because I adopted my oldest son as a 9 y.o. it is even more important to me that they feel they are brothers, so since he and my DD were placed with me as foster children they decided that they were brothers, and after 3 years and finalizing the adoption they truly are, without question, brothers. Just my experience and opinion
