“My Little Brother Found Out I’m Not His Fully Sister, And I Came Home To This… I’m Crying”

All of my siblings are scientifically half siblings but I would never refer to them that way, they are my sisters and brothers. Both of my parents were married with two kids before marrying each other and having me.

Kinda different, kinda the same. My mother-in-law refused to introduce me as her daughter-in-law. She always just said this is my daughter. It caused some shock. She was a sweet Jewish Bubbe from the valley, I'm black. I sure did love that woman.

This does affect some so greatly, my nephew was adopted by my brother when he was a baby, fast-forward to his 20's and he found out his sister and brothers were "half", this has been devastating for him in so many ways, he's worked through most of it but not without a heavy cost, I was never, EVER for them not telling him the truth when he was young, I wish they had told him, it ended up being horrible for him, and still is in many ways. You can't judge people and their heart felt feelings, what doesn't make sense to you might be earth shattering to someone else. I love this story, made me tear up, such a very sweet story.

Why does Pam look like she's trying out for Brazzers in the top photo?

I was adopted and I told my brother that, " I am always irritated when I am around you and baffled by your ridiculous life choices. Every bit as much AS IF YOU WERE MY REAL BROTHER!"

I know, it's touchy... but why people have to put EVERYTHING - even so intimate - to the Internet? Why they just can't live the moment alone, without applause of thousands of strangers? I don't get it. btw: If I was this brother I wouldn't be happy if my sister posts my private feeling in social media...

Family is not always about biology. My only sibling died 10 years ago, and I would give anything to find out if I have half siblings out in the world somewhere (my godmother told me that this is a possibility) or any family. I've been alone in the world for 10 years. My mom and dad, aunts and uncles, grandparents have all been gone for so long that I feel like an orphan. Love your family, whether they're half siblings, step siblings or stepparents, or just your chosen family, because you never know what's going to happen in the future. Give them all a hug for me, ok?

Fully Sister? Is that a real term or bad grammar?

I have 6 siblings, my mum had my older brother with one guy, then met my dad a few years later and had me. 8 years later, mum had found her husband and had 3 kids with him. A few years ago my dad found my step-mum, and they have 2 kids together, so I am technically the only one from both my mum and my dad. I have never even thought about them as being 'half' siblings, they are full family to me.

Lol my (half) big sister was the one to tell me, she told me my dad left when I was born because he didn't love me, I was 11 when she came out with that one... Good times...

When my 9 year old sister found out (after asking a lot of questions, like how my age and her parent's marriage didn't add up). she was silent for a few seconds and then she just said "Hey sister from another mister". We laughed and never mentioned again.

My little sister, oh, how I adore her. I don't care if our fathers are different. I just care that we're sisters. And she will always be my full sister to me. She's filled up the empty half with love, care, hilariousness, and how adorable and precious she is. I will always be there for her. Though we live in different houses I will still send my love. I always remember her. Because she cannot read, she asks my mom if she can text me stickers, and every sticker fills me with joy. You don't know how much I love her. We'll never know how much. It's a number bigger than googolplexian, it's far more than infinity... it's just so much I would never be able to count up to it!

The snacks put me over the edge. So sweet!

No half about it. Siblings are siblings no matter what.

and my elder siblings would say "i'm adopted" :)) people have different ways for expressing love. it's the bond that counts, share of DNA- not so much

Blood line is not important, love is!

My full sister became my half sister after that tragic magician's trick

Daaaaamn Pam. Nice.
