Help, i think i might have been adopted?

I worked in a Birthing Center. We had a baby born with White skin, pink cheeks, blond hair., green/blue eyes. Both parents were Black.
Turns out , the great grandmother was white. So the baby was a 'throw-back'. I know a few people that don't look anything like their parents.
If nothing else, ask to see your birth cert.

ask for the youngest picture of you.

you just almost described my parents. i am blonde and my mom and dad both have dark hair. i have blue eyes and theirs are more green, BUT growing up my mom had blonde hair so you should ask for photos of them when THEY were a baby/child. dont stress over something you dont know about yet... if you find out you were adopted then you can start freaking out if that is your choice.

My entire family has darker skin. I'm whiter then paper.
My entire family has dark brown to black hair. I have bright orange hair.
Nobody has freckles. I'm covered in them.
Everybody's tall. I'm short.
I'm not adopted even though I'm the exact opposite as them all.

I look like my mom did when she was a teenager.

Have a look at your birth certificate.

If the file date is a significant length of time from the birthdate, it is probably a fake (sorry 'amended') birth certificate indicating an adoption.

My wife is blond and I was brown before I went gray and bald. My daughter has red hair.

Just because your parents have one trait or another doesn't mean you will. If you are concerned, ask them. Other then that, don't worry.

What do you grandparents look like? Sometimes genetics are funny and traits can skip generations. I was adopted and I have people telling me that I look like my parents. So just cuz you don't resemble your mother or father doesn't mean you are adopted. How old are you? It could be you will look like one of your parents when you get older or you could have resembled their features when you were a baby. The best idea is to confront your parents about this in a respectful way and ask them directly if you were adopted. Tell them your concerns that you don't feel like you resemble them and they will hopefully tell you the truth. Good luck.

Your parents would tell you if you were adopted.

Your parents probably both have the same recessive genes in their bodies, kids honestly can be born not looking like their parents.

What do your grandparents look like sometimes kids look like their parents or sometimes the grandparents. Maybe you mom or dad had lighter hair when they were small (my brother had WHITE hair when he was small and now it is darker like mine and my sister.) sometimes the genes that are passed down are not the ones that are most dominant in your parents. If you feel like you are not like them in other ways maybe you should just ask.

my son has blonde hair blue eyes and we r both dark

My mother has dark brown hair, brown eyes and medium skin tones, my father has black hair, brown eyes and olive skin. Two of their four children had blond hair as children, the other two of us are dark. One of my brothers has blue eyes and red/blond hair and is very fair skinned.

However, he looks just like old photos of a brother of my Grandfather. Just because you don't have the same colouring as your parents doesn't mean you are adopted.

That doesn't mean anything. Stop worrying about it.

It's hard to tell.
Genetics is a funny thing. You can inherit looks from grandparents and other ancestors and not look like your parents.

You can start a scrapbook and get photos of ALL your relatives, especially grandparents, great grandparents, uncles, aunts, first and second cousins. If none of them are light complection, you might be adopted.

Green eyes don't pass down the line well, so I would not expect you to have green eyes even if both parents have them. The complexion, if inherited should show up in at least a few others in the family if you get the photos I suggested.

Get the scrapbook and photos for it since this worries you.
If the photos don't show any other people with skin tones similar to yours, then you can tell your parents you believe you were adopted and you wish they'd have the inner strength to tell you the real facts about your background. Once you've done that, if they don't admit to anything, then drop the subject and let it be.

Some people don't know how to tell their children they were adopted. That's the parent's problem and should not be the child's problem to worry about. You cannot change your parents.

Just because you don't have similar hair color, eye color, etc. as your parents, doesn't necessary mean you are adopted. My sister has blue eyes, blonde hair, and a very light complexion, and I have brown hair, brown eyes, and a darker/tan complexion. Then our parents both have brown hair, brown or green eyes, and darker complexions. So I look very simliar to my parents, and my sister really doesnt. But she has other things similar to both of our parents, like her personality, some facial features, and several other things.
So look for other things you have similar to your parents. But if you are still worried, ask them questions LIke ask them what hospital you were born in, ask if you can see your birth certificate, ask for baby pictures, etc.
Good Luck!
