Correcto

• 法院要求进行DNA检测，以核实亲生关系。(The court required a DNA test to verify the biological relationship.)
• 她虽为养女，但与养父母的感情毫不逊色于亲生子女。(Although she was an adopted daughter, her bond with her adoptive parents was no less than that of a biological child.)

Incorrecto

• 我们是亲生兄弟 — only specify 亲生 when the biological vs. adoptive distinction is relevant; otherwise simply say 兄弟 to avoid sounding clinical
