Miscellaneous: Today, I found out my blood type is B. My parents are type A...

Today, I found out my blood type is B. My parents are type A and type O. It's not genetically possible to be blood type B if your parents are A and O. This means I am either an adoptee, a mutant, or an illegitimate child. FML

Truth bomb

Today, I found out the truth about my and my siblings adoptions and why I have no contact with any extended family. Turns out our parents are half-siblings, who decided to adopt rather than risk any genetic anomalies. Their families didn’t approve of the relationship so they moved us far away. FML

Today, while doing a fun genetics game in Biology, I found out that I was adopted. Turns out the game wasn't so fun. FML

Today, I’ve suffered my whole life with a bunch of genetic conditions and I found out why at my dad's funeral. A bunch of relatives from America attended and one of them secretly told me my parents emigrated to England under a cloud of shame because they were brother and sister. I’m inbred. FML

Today, I found out that I was not adopted and in fact my parents are my biological parents. How did I find out? Over dinner. How long have I been believing I was adopted? 22 years. Why did I start believing I was adopted? My siblings thought it would be a funny joke. My mom played along. FML

Today, I found out that I was adopted. I'm 46 years old with 11 real siblings and no one bothered to tell me until I found the documents in my dead adoptive father's house. FML

Desperate times call for desperate measures

Today, I found out my parents only got pregnant with me because they were desperate for a bone marrow match for my brother, who ended up dying before I was born, and who I had no idea existed. What’s even more messed up is that they gave me his name. FML

Today, out of my mom, dad, and my siblings, I was the only one selected for a “random” extra check at the airport. My parents are English and my siblings were adopted from France and Scotland, and are all white. My bio parents were Pakistani, and I'm nutbrown and I was the only “random” search. FML

Family coincidence

Today with a DNA test, I found out that my husband is my half brother. 30 years ago his father made a donation to the sperm bank my mother used, and I’m the result. To make matters worse, I’m pregnant. FML

Today, I got ancestry DNA tests for my parents and myself. The DNA testing company informed me that I'm a 50% match for my mother but I share no DNA with my father. Apparently, both my parents forgot that they used a sperm donor. This insignificant detail has slipped their minds for 35 years. FML

Like #10 said it is not genetically possible. Blood typing is a contribution from both your parents. At least ONE of the OP's parents has to be an AB or B-type for that to be possible. Ask your parents, maybe there's a good story behind it?

LOL SURPRISE!!! Just ask your mom about it. It can't be possible that you're adopted and they didn't tell you...well it shouldn't be possible. Maybe their that bad...but maybe you have another dad?

Man, I wish I were a mutant... Omega level would be suitable enough. Anyway... have a nice little famjam meeting. If you are adopted, you can use the whole "you're not my real parents!!". If your mother slept with someone else, well, it's in the past... your current father is the one who raised you. Just hope you're a mutant...

Well, depending on how the conversation with your parents goes, you may or may not have another FML to share in a little bit. That's good news, right? See, you have to look hard, but there is always a silver lining.
