I am having surgery and would like to have someone I know donate blood for me.  Will either of my biological parents be a good match as long as they are in good health and all normal factors are ok.

It depends upon what type of blood YOU have, and the Rh factors (+ or -) or you and yoru parents.\n\nBesides, there are very few places that gurantee that you will get the blood someone donates for you, if any.  If you donate your own, maybe.  But you don't know what type of diseases your parents or friends might have, so they will not gurantee that you'll get their blood.  Takes awhile to process it, anyway.

No, it wouldn't cause any problems for you.  I'm a biologist, so I do know.  You and she are only third cousins, not second.  Your father and her father are first cousins, which means her father is your second cousin, and she is your third cousin.  You aren't closely related enough for it to make any difference, genetically speaking.  It's acceptable on moral and legal grounds, also.  If that's what you both want to do, I see no reason why you shouldn't.

Chances are sweetie that your biological father either died or didn't want anything to do with you.  Fortunatelly for you, you had a father in your life that wanted to be your dad.  Let the past go, I know it's hard not having your parents living, but that is no reason to search for someone who was never in your life growing up.  If you think that this will heal some emotional scars you have from losing your mum and pop your wrong.  Chances are if you do find your biological dad you will be very disappointed.  Let it go, remember, being a parent is not DNA, its taking care of you, teaching you, loving you, and being there for you through thick and thin.  Now that your grown that biological father can never do those things for you, so forget him!!

Absolutely......If your adopted parents can't help you with the name and address then you can request this through your local courthouse or through the attorney that handled the adoption. I wish you the best of luck with your marriage and your new life with your biological dad. I hope only for the best for you and your new spouse. Congrats!

I feel sorry to say this, but no one who isn't biologically related to you can even guess at your heritage.\n\nDo your adoptive parents have knowledge of who your biological parents (or any blood relative) are/were? \n\nI don't know if you are old enough to do this or not, but when/if you are, their are agencies, etc. who will try to find out the who, what, where, when, about your biological parents.  \n\nMany people of European descent have your qualities (not only Germans and Scandanavians).  I've known a couple of Jewish and Italian people with very light features.\n\nYour breast and butt size don't mean squat - as far as what country you're descended from.  That would be heredity.\n\nI do hope that you are able to find your heritage (at least some names of relatives).  It's possible that adult relatives are looking for you.  Good luck, and have faith.

yes its def possible. you dont have to share the same blood to love each other unconditionally. people who can accept other's children and love and care for them like their very own are few in this world! good for you!

No, a man with type AB blood can NOT have a type O child... The way blood types work is that A and B are surface markers on the red blood cells that are inherited. Type O means that there are NO surface markers. A and B types are codominant (i.e., both dominant) over type O.  So...if your father has an AB blood type, your brother MUST be either A or B or AB for this man to be his genetic father...he can NOT be O, no matter what your mother's blood type is.  The genetics are thus:\n\nIf Dad is AB and Mom is O: the possibilities for the children are AO or BO (type A or type B).\n\nIf Dad is AB and Mom is A: possibilities are A, B or AB.\n\nIf Dad is AB and Mom is B: possibilities are A, B or AB.\n\nIf Dad is AB and Mom is AB: possbilities are A, B, or AB.\n\nP.S.--Just because it's not possible for your father and brother to be related, that doesn't necessarily imply that your mother is a bad person...it just means she made a serious mistake in being unfaithful.  Don't let that influence your love for your brother.

If  man loves YOU, he will accept YOUR child(ren) as well. Y'all ARE a package deal, right. Some men are family men and would rather be a part of a family unit. Sometimes the step father can be a better role model, influence, teacher, etc. than the biological father. Maybe you and him could have a child together to "complete" the family unit.\n\nMy  ex-husband adopted my oldest son at 3 years old, he was a much better father than his biological father could even dream of being. When my ex died almost 4 years ago from lung cancer, we were at the funeral home, I got word that my son's biological father was on his way up to pay his last respects, I was freaking out thinking it would cause issues within the family. So, I asked my son how he felt about his donor coming up, I reassured my son that he had the last word (my son was almost 17) and if he was uncomfy to let me know and I would ask him (his donor) to leave. My son said to me "Billy can come here if he wants, he's not my dad, my dad is inside in the casket". \n\nMy boyfriend and I have only been together about 5 month's now. He's wonderful with my son's. Often, I pay attention to the way he interacts with my kid's and it amazes me that he's better with my youngest son than his own father was prior to his death (suicide).\n\nSo my point is, sometimes it's the greatest thing to have another parent to love our children.\n\nGood luck!!\n\nPS\nIf you plan to build a life with this man, you MUST teach your child(ren) that the step parent IS to be respected and don't allow your kid(s) to tell your man "your not my dad" when they are in trouble.

What I think you're saying is that your birth records show that you have type B- blood, but you had a child and now your records show you have A+ blood...is that correct?\n\nIf they are both your blood type, one of them definitely has to be wrong.  Your blood type doesn't change.  This is going to sound odd, but there is a free way to find out your blood type and it helps other people too--you can donate blood.  Of course, you should only do that if you have no diseases that can be passed on to others through your blood.  They will give you a screening at the donor center to make sure you're eligible.  When you give blood at the American Red Cross, a few weeks later they will send you a donor card that has your blood type on it.  Then you'll know your blood type and it's completely free.  Plus your blood donation can help save the lives of up to three people.  That's how I found out my blood type and I have been donating blood ever since.   \n\nAfter you know your blood type, you can start tracking down what's wrong with your records.  Sounds like it's going to be an interesting and complicated process.  Good luck!

Its not so much wrong or right for me as in pure desire to have the baby my husband and I created.  Not the baby my husband and I and the doctor and the lab tech and the nurses created.  As a christian I want the baby God gives me, imperfections and all.  As a human I want the baby that we created with our own genes.  I will love that child no matter what.  Of course I want a healthy child, but people have been dealing with that risk since the dawn of time.  I can deal with it too.

Amy\n\nI am surprised to see your posting.  Do you not feel we are helping you adequately?  The procedure your father wants carries with it great risks and we are doing our best to find the best surgeons for you rather that turn this into some profit making opportunity.  We have rejected two doctors in India for lack of experience and our chief medical officer is currently in India working on this for you including finding you a surgeon in Singapore as an alternative as well.  We here at planethospital are also very concerned for your father's well being and you know we are working very hard for you.  If you feel otherwise, tell us so that we can satisfy you.  the resources going into helping your father should not go in vain so if you have no intent in using us, or just want to pick our brain then we would need to deploy those resources for other clients.  I hope to hear back from you

If you both are truly Christians, then you will honour your father and mother for then it will go well with you.  Read the book of Proverbs, it speaks about this quite a bit.  If you are living under your parents roof and eating their food while they pay the bills, then you must honour them.

There should be a record of your blood type in medical records. they usually type you at birth. I was told my kids blood types at birth due to testing required in certain states. I even found my blood type in my records given to my mother with the birth certificate. However if you have ever had your blood drawn they should be able to tell you. Again it should be in your records but you could just as easily donate blood which is really needed and they will tell you and you could help others out in the process. that is if you are of legal age! what type are your parents ? it would have to be one or the other or a combination of the two but the rh factor usually comes from the father (+ or -) but it is best to be 100% sure so donate blood and it cost you nothing and helps others plus you will know your blood type. i am a+ spouse o- kids are a+,a- and o- i hope this helps you understand how it works and you findout your blood type!

yes\n\none parent is blood type A+, and the other is B+.\n\nTherefore, can be represented as AO, and BO.\n\nin this way, it is possible to have an AB, AO, BO, and OO blood type, more commonly known as AB, A, B, and O

why don't you ask your teacher? I find it very disturbing that the person that drew my blood the other day may have been taught how to do it by someone on yahoo. Gee whats next a Dr. asking the best way to perform a heart transplant.

yes\notherwise known as universal donor\na person with this blood type could only take blood from exact same group.\n\nab+  universal recipient =  can take blood from any group but can give blood only to same group.

You can rule out certain blood types, but you can't know the exact one for sure.  For example, you can be sure the father is not either blood type O or B, but he could be A or AB.  The rh factor isn't as easy to figure out.
