Most dictionaries define siblings as persons who share a common biological parent. However, there is another factor to one's holding the status of sibling. That involves a legalrelationship with the same parent rather than a biologicalone. In that context a legally adopted brother or sister would be considered a sibling. This distinction becomes especially important in the case of inheritance. Most jurisdictions do not allow adopted siblings to marry.
