"My brother did ask me. At the time, I thought that family was being outrageous. If that boy took money to support them, he'd be letting his adoptive parents down. I..."
The girl suddenly froze. She now realized the person she had been talking about was her own brother.
If this person was her brother, she was willing to give the money!

"You never considered that this person could be your brother, so you spoke with righteous indignation. You felt that the boy shouldn't use his adoptive parents' resources to support his birth parents, not even to help out a little."
"I didn't know it was my brother! If it were him, I'd be willing!" the girl blurted out.
[Just sayin', isn't that a double standard?]
