You are misunderstanding my whole point. When a family legally adopts a child, that child is their full child or sibling, regardless of whether the adopted child shares the same two parents as the sibling. Angela has adopted Henry as her brother, not just her half brother.

Besides, if nurture beats nature here anyway, then Henry would by default, be just her brother. A person who has a half sibling, like my cousins, do not refer to them as a half sibling. By nurture, they are sisters.

The reason why other wikias put adoptive, is because it is an interesting fact about the character and plays a part in the story upon which they are basing their wikia. They are meant to lay out the facts, not personal feelings of what it means to them in the real world. They are not separating their relationship and making it out to mean less, they just don't feel the need to hide it.

Your reluctance to mention the word adoption is creating a taboo in and of itself. You are saying that to mention it, diminishes the integrity of adoption and the relationship between the two people involved, unless the character says they don't care. That is weird.

I am campaigning for you to stop making it out to be a real issue to say the word adoption, and see that in terms of nurture, Henry is just her sibling, full stop.
