Try the Human Genome Project\nThere is some other project where you send them a splot of your blood and they tell you your entire family history and migration patterns and everything.\nIt's called genetic anthropology.\n\nSome scientists now believe that everyone can be traced back to 4 major groups of people or something like that.\n\nHere's the only link I found but there are better ones out there.

You might be interested to check out a website that does research on topics such as this-- It's called Project Implicit, and it's an ongoing Harvard study. I found out about it while reading the book, "Blink", by Malcom Gladwell. (Great book, by the way-- I enjoyed it more than his other one, "The Tipping Point") You can register (it's free and quick) and participate, and/or see results of past studies. It has things that are race-related, gender related, and sooo much more-- really interesting stuff!! -- I'm going to post it as a new topic, for those who might find it of use-- I hope you're getting the answers you were looking for! -- Also, my thoughts on all of the above are pretty standard, as I have some Aboriginal blood in me- (MicMac) -- I'm curious as to why you posted the question, though, as there may be those who answer with the stereotypical racist comments-- Anyway, I hope the site gives you more information to satisfy your curiosity-- I have to say, it does make you THINK, and can challenge what you thought you knew about yourself!-- Bye for now, have a great week!\n\nhttps://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/research/

From the age of 5; I always deemed one either for my name or my mixed heritage.\nMy father is white from Port Arthur,TX and my mother is from Matehuala, Mexico. \nMy unusual name both first and last got me in lots of trouble. My mixed heritage kept me from being fully accepted by white society. I look hispanic, but I speak very good english. It throws people off that are white because I don't look white. It throws mexicans off because my spanish is not so good and english very good.\nMexicans do not care that I am half white. White people look at me as halfbreed and do no want their daughters near me. I am not very handsome, but it does give me pause that some white women look past me almost all of the time. \nI am a likeable person. I have no criminal record. I am kind to others. \nI hope to see a day when this goes away, but given the current immigration issues in US, I am not holding my breath. \nPrejudice is an old concept and so long as it exists a man and a woman of different worlds will very rarely meet and have a beautiful life together.

yes....i would deffinately search for my birth parents...\ni am not adopted, but my biological father left my mum pregnant with twins (me and my sister) so i didnt even know him or anything about him...i grew up thinking that my stepdad was my real dad until i was about 7 and a half when they told us because we had to go to our real grandfathers funeral! i never realy wondered about my real father, but recently however, me and one of my good friends have been looking onto finding our birth fathers as her dad left when her mum was pregnant too!...i want to find him, but only to get like medical history and just to know a LITTLE bit about where i came from on his side and not just on mums side...so i think that if you DO want to know a bit about your birth mum then go ahead and go for it, because nothing is holding you back except yourself! and your fears of what she is really like, so dont hold back!

Your biochemical makeup and who you are are two vary seperate things. Of couse you should learn to accept yourself nomater what, but that's only part of it. Who you are, how you act, those are the importent things, they are decisions that you make. So if your mom was an alchalic (just for the sake of example) you are predisposed geneticly to become an alchohalic, but then your pesonality (you) can decide that you don't want to drink. There are controversel new studys that involve actualy changeing DNA via genetic engeneering,this technology has not come to far as of yet. For now you cannot change your predispostiosions, but you can change your actions. This is speacking form a pure biological standpoint, of course many religios and supernatural belifes exist haveing to do with the human ablity to change matter and being.

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.

You're trying to say you have a synthetic chromosome. I would check all the experiments for contamination, and check the cells for endogenous expression before jumping to that conclusion. There are a lot of hurdles to leap, as mentioned in the other posts.

Don't let others get you down. I doesn't matter what they think. And be glad that their curious about you. It brings up conversation because you can then ask them the same question. Cause "whites" or other minorities are rarely from one region. Take for instance me. I'm white, but you can basically call me a "mutt" because I'm not a purebred. Ha! Ha! I'm a little bit England, Swiss, Danish (no wonder I like pastries? LOL and some other places mixed in with it.\nSee? We started a conversation! Now do that with the kids at school. And be glad that you have "light-skin" and not "dark as most of the black kids there".  Just means you're special because you're unique then. Is one of your parents white? Or somewhere down the line?\nP.S. Your smarts has nothing to do with you're looks.\nKeep up with your good grades, little egg-head!\nBigger Egg-head\nSmileyCat : )

I am not adopted. But adoption is an issue close to my heart. Trying to share my thoughts here:\n\nIf you really are bothered by this question, I think you should explore this;  no one can blame you for it! As midn'tsmokerchic says, it might be a good step for you.\n\nBut the responses, in short term and long term, might depend on the personalities of the other people involved. Would there be a way to contact your birth-mother's parents, siblings or friends first? This might not only let you learn more about her but also help you learn about her husband and other children before meeting them.\n\nGoodluck to you!

There is a WONDERFUL site that you can input both parents eye colors (and their parents) and it will tell you the percentages of what you offsprings eyes could be!\n\nhttp://www.thetech.org/genetics/\n\nDown near the bottom left it will have the link for you to launch the application to do the test.

I was born on an iceberg off the coast of Antarctica. I'm of Irish decent from the line of Donegal but if traced back to the pre conquest of that area I'm of Scandinavian ancestry ( there were not any blond Irish before we showed up ) and I was raised in Canada. I'm six foot three inches at two hundred and ten pounds with blue eyes and short sandy to blond hair and I'm so white I'm actually Irish pink. God help me if I get caught in the Sun; I burst into flames! Nice to meet You, I hope You have a happy thanksgiving.

You can check your mother's birth certificate, her mother's birth certificate. Trace your families history to help prove the fact.\n\nOther than that, you can't really "prove" your Indian. Just like I can't "prove" I'm Irish besides the fact my father was Irish.

Your husband should have copies of the adoption papers/amended birth certificate, which would tell you where you were adopted from (agency, state, etc). Then I would contact that agency/state and see what they can tell you. There is a number on your birth certificate which correlates to a number on your original birth certificate. You will probably have to fill out paperwork stating why you are wanting this information and then hope that your birth family has filled out the same paperwork saying it is ok.  If the adoptee has made contact with the agency saying that he is wanting to be found, then the agency will make contact with you.
