Half-Sibling
A half-sibling is a person who shares one biological parent with another person but not both. This means that they have either the same mother or the same father. For example, if a woman has two children with different partners, those children are considered half-siblings to each other.
Half-siblings can have varying degrees of relationships, just like full siblings. They may grow up together or meet later in life. The bond between half-siblings can be influenced by family dynamics, personal experiences, and the level of involvement from their shared parent, which can affect their connection over time.
