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

they say everyone has an average of 3 mutations in their DNA so this is number 1

it seems like a pretty good excuse to buy a giant shell, take up residence in a sewer, and eat pizza for every meal. or grow wolverine claws. but the shell seems more cost-effective

You sure one of your parents isn't B or AB?

Quick bio lesson for the people who think it's possible. One parent is A, can't produce a baby with B unless the other parent is B. One parent is O, can't product a baby with B unless the other parent is a B. Neither parents have type B blood. Therefore, adoption or affair. Which is ****** up either way.

Yeah, I'm studying genetics and blood types A and O combined can only make blood type A children...so sorry :(

it is possible that your parents are mistaken about their blood types.

wait. something is ****** up with comments. anyway the #21 i saw explained how there is a rare condition that allows for this to occur. not saying that it's definitely what happened, but it's another possibility. Bombay was mentioned, but i am almost positive that there is another rare instance where this certain condition can occur.

The Bombay phenotype is if you have an A and an O, though, with an AO (showing as an A) for their one side and a OO (showing as O). If one person, for example, was AO and BB, it would show as AB. O is sort of a canceling factor. A and B are dominant, and going to show. So if one parent was AB and the other would have to be OO, because A or B would show as the O, and the AB parent would be AB.
