We got this a lot with our first two (18mos apart).....and with three now: "Are they related?', 'Are they brother and sisters?'

My usual answer: "They are NOW."
And sometimes I still get people who continue to say, "No....I mean, are they RELATED?"
--'They are NOW!" (And I'm continuing to smile...)

And for those who are incredibly dense---I MAY go ahead and say, "They were adopted and no, not biologically, but now, they are related.'

Sincerely,

Linny

PS: I"ve always hated the term, 'half-brother, step-sister, etc...too.
