They got engaged what a week after their mother dies. If it's real, good for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102363 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 20:03:05 +0000 chopsuey 102363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's depends.<br /> If the kids were raised together from a very young age, then it's just weird and wrong.<br /> If they met later in life like in "Clueless" it's all good. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102307 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 18:22:30 +0000 winniebee 102307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's very weird - I thought the Clueless relationship was a little weird too, but also justified it b/c they were "ex-siblings" and supposedly never lived together.....man, I love that movie ; ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102293 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 18:00:36 +0000 mrbee 102293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just hope they don't break up... makes it kinda hard to avoid your ex! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102289 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 17:56:10 +0000 cupcakemama 102289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: have to agree with that.</p> <p>I think it's kinda weird but not wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102283 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 17:45:01 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 102283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my issue is that they've had a lot of trauma in their life recently and that it's a bad time to make any life changing decisions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102254 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 16:57:16 +0000 joyjoy 102254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a little weird, but since they're not blood related, it's not icky. I thought it was weird in Clueless, too. I never understood why they didn't just make him a family friend like the book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102249 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 16:52:29 +0000 tequiero21 102249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: i guess that makes it a lil better, but yup, i think it's just a technicality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102234 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 16:32:04 +0000 mrbee 102234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: I think Woody's "get out of jail" free card was that he never adopted Soon-Yi... only Mia did. That always felt like a technicality to me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102232 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 16:31:30 +0000 MsMamaBear 102232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's weird, thought so in clueless..but if she likes it, I love it.LOL Do her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102226 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 16:27:06 +0000 tequiero21 102226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>okay, technically, i think it's fine because they're not related. and i thought i read he wasn't actually adopted. but was "like" a son or something.</p> <p>however, i voted that it was weird because people consider adoption as a legal action. people say they love and think of their own, their adopted children. so even though it's not biological, it's incest!</p> <p>it's like woody allen. they adopted the daughter and then he sleeps with her? disgusting. unless people don't consider adoption a "real" process. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102224 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 16:24:59 +0000 anbanan15 102224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's weird. I thought it was weird in Clueless too, but they were ex-step siblings so it's another level of weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102182 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 15:03:06 +0000 Goldilocks1107 102182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a little strange, but don't think it's wrong at all. Not related by blood, not actually adopted, so I think of it more as two people who have been really close friends for most of their lives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102179 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 15:00:44 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 102179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's strange. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102157 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:45:00 +0000 BSB 102157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do think it's a little weird but I don't think it's wrong. They aren't blood related. I believe in marriage equality. Hey, you can't control who you love, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102156 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:45:00 +0000 BananaPancakes 102156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a bit strange, but then again, how could anything having to do with falling in love with Paul Rudd be wrong? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102155 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:44:17 +0000 MamaMoose 102155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's super weird because they were actually raised together as brother and sister. Clueless is different because they weren't raised together, they were step siblings not adopted siblings, and oh yeah, it wasn't real life : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102140 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:23:21 +0000 heffalump 102140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's weird. And I thought it was weird in Clueless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102139 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:23:20 +0000 plantains 102139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it is totally weird. still love Clueless though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102135 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:20:19 +0000 Andrea 102135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it is kinda weird but your Clueless argument is a very good one. Love that movie!! :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102134 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:19:40 +0000 Adira 102134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually, they were EX-step-siblings, and I don't think they were even step-siblings for very long, so I'd have to go back and rewatch it.</p> <p>I think it's kind of weird. Technically they aren't related (by blood), but they have the same parents (biological/adopted). I don't know enough about them, but I guess it probably depends on how old they were when they became siblings. If they were raised as brother/sister, then it's weird that they fell in love. If they were a lot older when they became siblings, then that is less weird to me.</p> <p>My vote would be "weird, but not wrong" I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marrying-adopted-brother#post-102133 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:16:51 +0000 Mrsbells 102133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read in magazine that there are rumors that Bobby Kristina (whitney houstons daughter) may be eloping to marry her adopted brother. I dont know if this is true or not, but it got me thinking how does society view this. Is this right or wrong? I ask because when I was younger I watched a movie "CLUELESS" with paul rudd and alicia silverstone and they were step brother and step sister and they fell in love and at the time I thought that was ok. what do you think </p>
