Hi,

M has been with us almost 3 weeks. She has sibs, but only talks about the one she spent the most time with. She often mentions him to other people (my friends). Usually she will just say how old he is. Nobody has yet asked who he is. What should I say if/when they do? I do not want to explain aything about her background or her siblings to people that have no need to know. But I don't want to diminish his importance to her. I guess I could say "He is somebody very special to M". If she happens to say, "He is my brother" I know that will start up the questions. I guess I will just have to say (as I have had to already) "We have made the decision to keep that information private." Does anybody have any advice?

Thanks!
