[QUOTE="buddy, post: 500801, member: 12886"] Quin's bio half sibling, the only other in the family to be placed out of the bio family (all were removed from mom but most went to relatives)...was adopted into a family that was part bio kids part adopted kids. The adopted kids were all adopted in pairs except Q's bio sibling. His bio sib has attachment disorder as well as autism like Q but does not have the brain injury. He also looks like Q but much lighter, he looks cauc. He is hispanic with curly hair and the same nose and even glasses. I have a picture of him at Q's current age and it is amazing. Anyway, he was furious with his parents for not adopting Q. He felt like everyone in the family had "blood" brothers/sisters and he was left out. He felt he didn't fit in. They called social services and contacted me and I was fine with contact, but at the time Q was four and did not talk with anyone really. But I wrote for him, sent emails, and eventually they didn't respond so I guess he moved on. Q will say he has a brother. I hope some day they can connect. (If he is ok, and safe of course) I think the sibling thing does matter hugely. Q would not do well with a sib IN HOME but I think he would like it. I can't imagine life without my sisters. I used to have nightmares about one or another dying and cried so hard I thought my heart would actually explode. I am glad your girls find a bond through that. I am sure it is not the rule for all but I bet it is a real thing for many many people. [/QUOTE]
