great! i wanted to leave things a little more open just on the off chance that someone actually wanted to bring him in but all i had in mind was that their biological parents basically gave both of the boys up after they were born, i haven't decided on a reason why but that's something i'm always happy to discuss. max went into foster care and since he was more of a troublemaking kid, his foster families kept giving him back to the state until the time he was 11. he doesn't even know that he has a brother, no one has told him and he just believes his adopted sister is the only "family" he has so i think it would be really interesting to play out that discovery!
