I know the bible prohibits marriage between blood or step siblings, but how about adopted siblings?
The Bible does not explicitly mention or prohibit marriage between adopted siblings. Adopted siblings are not blood relatives, so Biblical laws related to incest, such as Leviticus 18, may not apply to them. However, cultural and personal beliefs may influence one's view on this matter. It is essential to consider relevant state or province laws and consult with religious authorities if there are any questions or concerns regarding specific situations.

But, as a general ethic, I would say, do not marry your adopted sibling. There are other fish in the sea, my friend.
