Non Brazilian siblings of a Brazilian child

Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and here are my very pressing concerns...  after giving birth in brazil you get permanent residency as parents so what about other kids you may have had before birthing in brazil, will they obtain permanent residence as well? 
Is there any law on this and will the ages of the kids determine if they will be granted permanent residence or not.

I appreciate every contribution in advance, thank you all

Children under 18 also qualify for permanent residency; children over 18 do not, unless they're disabled and entirely dependent on the parents.  I'll try to post links later.

Here's the link:

http://www.pf.gov.br/servicos-pf/imigra … 20familiar

Specifically, this paragraph:
"VIII - irmão de brasileiro ou de imigrante beneficiário de autorização de residência, desde que menor de dezoito anos de idade, ou até os vinte e quatro anos de idade, se comprovadamente estudante, ou de qualquer idade, se comprovada a dependência econômica em relação ao chamante;"

Siblings up to 24 years of age may be admitted, if they can be proven to be students.

Thanks a billion

Abthree, 
Would the other child get the permanent residence while in Brazil or from home country?

I read that if it's 10 years or younger, they get provisional brazil citizenship instead of the PR card? Can someone shed more light on it?

Not "instead of", but following.  After both the parent and the child under 10 years of age obtain their CRNMs, the parents may apply for "Naturalização Provisória" (Provisional Naturalization) on the child's behalf:

Whether naturalization will be granted or not is completely at the discretion of the Ministry of Justice.
