No. There are no laws in Arizona that allow two people to file a Petition with the Court to enable them to become brothers and sisters. The parents of one of the parties would have to adopt the other person to enable the two people to become brothers and sisters.If the people are older than 18, an adoption would not appear appropriate since they are adults. If the people are over 18 they do not need permission from a parent to reside together -- unless of course they intend to reside in the parents' home.
