adopted brother
Non-biological male sibling
An adopted brother is a male sibling relationship created through legal adoption rather than biological connection.
The term may describe a brother who was adopted into one's family, or one's own brother from the perspective of having been adopted oneself: My adopted brother and I grew up together from age three.
The relationship carries the same familial weight as biological brotherhood.
