Q: Would this be wrong in the eyes of society?
A: Yes. Be prepared for dirty words and stink eyes.
Q: Would this be wrong religiously?
A: Yes. Wait... maybe. I'd say it's half and half.
Q: Would this be wrong in any other way?
A: Probably most definitely.
However, if everyone knew that you two were adopted, and not blood relatives, I am sure the world would be fine with it. Problem is, there is little time for consideration of extenuating circumstances (what else could you call it?) in today's society, so it is likely that most would immediately write your relationship off as incest and be done with you. I could be wrong. Unfortunately, I do not think that I am. You guys should try just being friends. Seems safer that way to me.

 Whether this romance would be "wrong" may depend upon your family and the culture there in Australia. Since there is no familial blood line relationship, it would not seem to fall into the category of what many may call taboo or forbidden in the traditional sense. There could be some kind of in-family difficulty involved with such a romance, but only you could know that. First thing to consider may be whether he feels the same and would he be willing to get involved.

okayy so your both adopted so technically your not related so either talk with your cousin see if he feels the same and what you should doo
but seeing as you are seen as family the best thing to do it too go out with friends more and see if theres someone who catches your eye ;) x
