It is tough sometimes to know just what to say and how much. I have my son, who is 9 months, and am raising my two nephews, who are 14 and 16 years old. I get a LOT of nosey questions and comments-"Wow, you must have started young to have such an age range!", "You almost have two seperate families", etc. I usually try to ignore these comments, but the boys have come up with an answer to the "Is that your baby brother?" They call my son their brother-cousin. Too cute!
I think it's perfect for you to just say yes and keep on walking! And I also think it's fine to say they are brothers through adoption or anything else you and your sons feel comfortable with.
