How would you feel if you found out that you have a step brother or sister?

well step brother step sister is no blood relation, half brother half sister has blood relation. There is a big difference. I have a step brother and a step sister and I think they are great, we relate at a very different level because our parents got married when we were adults already. My step sister and step brother are quite a bit younger than my sister and I, I was already married when my dad remarried my step mom, and her step daughter was in college at the time, I think it was more of an affect for my step brother as he was still in highschool and lived with my step mom and dad for awhile so I think it was a bit of an adjustment for my dad and him but they get along great. I also have a half sister on my mom's side, she had given up a baby for adoption before I and my sister were born. She is only 3 years older than me,and 5 years older than my sister. We foud eachother about 13 years ago and still keep in touch as much as we can. Sometimes I wish we were closer than we are but things are as they are. Her adoptive mother is still alive and I feel that when she does pass on things will change a bit and we may see more of her. Her adoptive mom is AWESOME! But she is getting along in age. My half sister thought it cool that she has such close siblings that are blood related, she has an older adoptive sister who is 4 years older, whom is the biological child of her adoptive parents. Anyway, it can be emotional and strange but sometimes it can be good. My cousins have half siblings that are older and those half siblings want nothing to do with my cousins at all, it is sad but my cousins are strong and realize that regardless they have enough family and feel loved that they do not need to have any relationship with their older half siblings should they not want to be a part of the family anyway. Just thought I would let you know it probably would be different if things happened when I was still a child, It would be hard to get use to a blended family when you are younger I feel, to have to share more than what you already share. That is the difference for me.

well some times its tough but you just need to take heart and get used to knowing your step. although its not an easy issue but there is nothing one can do, as for me I was introduced to my step when I was quiet younger, but now we live like a strong family and i am already used to him as my brother and my dad really worked hard to make sure we lived as one, and also begged me mostly that it was a mistake he made in his life and would want me to be careful not to make such mistake he made and i saw reasons with him. well its tough but within the years I am now used to it and I dont even see him as my step anymore I see him as full blood brother, but some times it varies too because I also know of a friend who had a case like mine,but it never ended up like mine, there were problems here and there.fighting and some funny issues, thats why I truely find it tough to make a final conlucion to this isssue becuase every case are not thesame. i really had some tough time with my step then but I thank God all is well now and we are both matured men with good proffesional careers.

If I was the only one in my family I will be happy that I have a brother or sister What if the person was your school or classmate the will be very cool because you have a brother or sister in the same class
