But children also don't have a say in any full or adopted siblings they have. Should a 1o year old formerly only child be able to tell their parents that they are too traumatized or resentful to meet their newly adopted baby sister?[/quote]

Children don't, but parents do.  The wife, though, didn't get a say in whether a love child should exist. But that's not really the point since you're trying to make a parallel between a sibling and a half-sibling, and that's just wrong.

Siblings live in the same house, share the same resources, enjoy their parents together, go on trips together, eat at the same table.  Siblings don't ask each other "why do you get to live with daddy all the time, and I only see him once every few days?", "why did daddy choose to stay with you and not me? what's wrong with me?", "why does daddy love your mom more than my mom?", "why is your house so much nicer than mine?".  There an inevitable tension between children who got the benefit of an intact family with two incomes and a love child who only has her mom and a part-time dad, if that.  They are not equal, not through anything they did, they are innocent in this, but that doesn't mean their relationship will be free of drama. [/quote]
