Does my sibling have to be a full blood relative to qualify?
Not necessarily. Full siblings, half-siblings, step-siblings, and adopted siblings can all qualify, as long as certain conditions are met. For step-siblings, the shared parent must have married the stepparent before the sibling turned 18. Adopted siblings must have been adopted before age 16.
