adoptive sibling
Non-biological brother/sister
An adoptive sibling is a brother or sister who became part of one's family through adoption rather than birth.
The term may describe someone adopted into your family, or a biological child of parents who adopted you: My adoptive siblings welcomed me from day one.
The relationship is legally and socially equivalent to biological siblinghood.
