wormed his way into the family circle
Hi Brenda.
Your text in Spanish mentions "testigos relatan" . De ahí yo le tomo un sentido negativo a este asunto..y de ahí, mi respuesta. Algo más de contexto tuyo nos ayudaría.
Suerte:-)

Thank you kindly, Anne:-)) But far more context is needed. I've never been able to understand why we [willing helpers] have to virtually coerce askers [the needed] to give us clear context and give them clear answers! One of life's mysteries, I guess:-))

entering/becoming/ became a family membership
I would opt for how he "became a family membership". That is following the context given.

Erin DeBell
: "Membership" just doesn't work in this construction. Perhaps "gained membership" or "became a family member" would be better. :) Un saludo.

Thanks Kirendall! I see your point, and yes, definitely a "family member" or a "member of the family" sounds much better than my option related to sports! Thank you!

gradually became a part of the family circle
To maybe reflect the "fue ingresando" part, I felt that a "gradually" was necessary, it was not an action or a result obtained in one step, but was the outcome of a gradual process, or scheme.

Think I may have been right, after all:-) Saludos a todos!
