Should I tell my parents about my (foster) brother?

Ok, I'm 13 and so is my foster brother. He's been with us for a month (a temporary arrangement until they can find somewhere else for him to go). But him and I, and also my younger bro and sis who are 12 and 11, became really good friends. The 4 of us are insperable and create more trouble than before like you wouldn't believe. Well, both of us chat with friends online that we've met on here, etc. and he told one girl that we both chat with to tell me that he wants to stay. So she did. Apparently he's really outgoing about fun stuff, but gets shy when he has to talk to people. He couldn't even tell me this. But I went to him and said that he should tell our parents because they might get long term custody of him so he won't get transferred out. But he's too scared because he thinks he takes up too much room. If I went to my dad and said, "Hey dad, "Jimmy" wants to talk to you about something" without foster bro knowing about it,do you think he would hate me for it? thanks for advice.

I wouldn't go to your Dad and say that your brother wanted to talk to him. What I would do is talk to your Dad yourself. Tell him that your foster brother wants to stay there. Tell him exactly what you said here.

Yes, you should definitely tell them!!! Being a foster child is such a difficult thing. If your foster brother is starting to develop a bond with your family, that is a wonderful and special thing. Some kids his age are unable to bond to any family. What an awesome thing it would be for him, and for your family, if this could work out to be a permanent arrangement. Go ahead and tell your parents, and set the wheels in motion!

That's story kind of touched me. Being from a broken home myself I undersand how he doesn't want to be a burden on your family.

Maybe you should be the one to talk to your parents about it. If you really want him to stay then you should talk to you parents and see what they think. It would be easier to get their honest opinion when he's not around, besides you probably could be more persuasive than he can.

You should always tell your parents the whole Truth.Even tell them how you feel and how you found out how much he wants to stay.I don't like the fact that you four are creat
