Same Mother, Different Fathers ... Half Siblings:
  • Yes, if you have the same mother but different fathers then you are half brothers or half sisters. However, if you and another sibling had the same father then you are not half siblings but brother and sister. It's the gene pool so it doesn't matter if your mother gave birth to you or not, if it's a different father then you are a half brother or half sister.
  • No, if you have the same mother, you are not half siblings, only if you have different fathers, you are a half siblings. Nothing from the womb is half.

Obviously the person who answered the question above is not very educated. This seems to be a misconception among the black community, (no offense... I'm half black myself). It doesn't matter if siblings share the same biological mother or father because you receive half your DNA from your mother and half from your father. So, to answer your question... it doesn't matter if you share the same mother or father, you're half siblings either way. Looks like the person above was sleeping in their science class or just a victim of misinformation.

Half. FULL. If you have the same mother you are sisters/brothers. The child, if a non-bloodless delivery commingles with the mother's bodily fluid as well as blood, thus making the children with the same mother FULL sisters/brothers. This has been the theory for many years only now within the last 5-10 years has there been controversy over this issue. In laymen terms, if a child is delivered naturally that child will intake the mother's bodily fluids as well as blood, which means the child literally has his/her mother's blood in their veins.

it depends on the circumstances...you would not be full siblings though you would be considered half siblings Basically, you're just half-siblings, though you could tell people you were full siblings.
