I know I am not normal. The thing is I am a lot normal than my family. It is not only my physical appearance. I am one of eight children. All of my brothers and sisters have bright blue eyes I have chocolate brown eyes. My 4 sisters have straight blond hair, I have curly brown hair. All seven of them has my moms sloped nose. I have a thick nose. My sisters have a D chest or bigger as well as my mom. Im a C. It is not only facial features. I am quite while all my brothers are rebels. My sisters are always in trouble. So could I have been switched at birth 29 years ago. My husband swears I had to been because Im nothing like them! I don't even get along with them.

It is possible you could have been. I know I am not because I look so much like my father. I have my grandmothers teeth shape. Does anyone in your family, aunts or uncles or even grandparents have dark hair, eyes or a wide nose? I know nowadays it would be really hard to have been switched at birth. At least here where I live because of the way they do things.

Nope My mom has white blond hair and Dad has dirty blond hair. Mom was a single child and Dads family all looked like him. Blond and well stacked on the chest.

I know that I could not have been switched at birth. Not only do I look a lot like my family members, but the only other baby born in the hospital that day was an African American baby boy.

Well, it's difficult for us to answer this question. Even if you have the same parents it's possible that you could have inherited some different genes to your siblings. Do you know if any of your anscestors have any of the traits that you've described? If so then you could take after them, while your brothers and sisters take after somebody else (mainly your mom from the sound of it). I agree it's unusual that the other seven appear to be so different to you though. It's horrible to think about it, but is it possible that you could have a different father? (Don't feel you have to answer this, it's something you may have thought of already but dismissed). If you really want to know if you were swapped at birth then I suppose you and one/some of your siblings, or you mom could have a DNA test. Then you'd know for sure.
