How will you know for sure you are your parent's child?

The first recourse is, of course, to your family - your mother, father, siblings, aunts, uncles ... anyone who remembers your history. These days, however, people are able to check whether or not they are really blood-relations of their parents and siblings by DNA testing. The most common (and cheapest) is the one which checks that you are your father's child - Paternity Test. Less common and more expensive (since it is a more complex test) is the one which will tell you whether you are related to your mother.

Actually this is a very interesting question and topic here. I have seen few friends and relatives who have adopted child and surprisingly the kids grow up with so much resemblance with their adopted parents. It is given with those who have blood relations. But what really is amazing are those kids who doesn't have any blood relations with their adopted parents. One of my friend haven't even meet the real parents of her adopted daughter. She took the baby when she's just a month old from an orphanage. The baby was seen in front the orphanage door/gate so, even the orphanage staff had no idea who the baby's mother/parents are. That's the reason why my friend adopted that baby. Now that baby is 10 years old-actually yesterday was her birthday. And that little girls resembles a lot to her mother (my friend) So,no one can ever tell that the little girl is an adopted. Regarding your topic- I can tell I am my parents child, because I look like my mom and me and my younger sister are like twins...

I see some traits I inherited from my parents in myself. But even if I did not have them, I am fully aware that the real parents are the ones the bring up the child, take care of him and love him. A biological parent is not the most important thing so why bother about that?

There are certain points you may find: the physical appereance, for example. Usually, the children are similar or to the father or to the mother (like the eyes, hair, nose, skin and so on). Then you have the character, which also can give you some points. What I mean is, even if you grow up with other parents which are not your biological ones, you won't get the character of those parents, it's something in you like the DNA proof. Maybe you have heard sometimes your mother saying: "you are exactly as your father...!" (it's only an example). But at least, if even so you still have doubts, you still can ask for the medical test.

for sure it all depends on some identity and how well you can connect with her genes and if you are really more friendly and from face makeup we can figure it out

a DNA maybe. But for me it doesn't really matters. I think I will just use my own feelings. If I already knew for myself that I love those people whom took good care of me when I was young, no doubt, they're my parents. No questions asked. Unless they told me that I'm adopted, still I will consider them as my parents. :)

I thought I was adopted at one point when I was young. Not even sure why. I know of a women who had given her son up for adoption. The adoptive parents had so many similar characteristics it is uncanny. They looked so very natural together. If you really have a problem with knowing for sure you have a test done. I think all they have to do is swab each person's mouth and run the test. That would be the only definite and for sure way.

Because I look very much like my father!

I believe that we know we are our rente;s child when we begin to take on their traits. it is inevitable and something that is passed on to us through the course of time.,

1) By your senses, that is, you can feel it in your heart, the quality of love and care that only a parent could give. 2) By logic and that is, if you grew in the same neighborhood where you were born do you think if you are not their real child they could keep that secret for long?

I think the only best effortless way we can tell if we really are our parents' child is by any physical resemblance. However, there are cases, when recessive genes take over. For example, my second baby didn't inherit our fair skin color, while our first child got a very fair complexion. Both me and my husband are fair colored, so we come to realize that we have aunts, uncles, and brothers who have darker complexion. If one is really in doubt, they just have to go thru DNA testing.

why do you need proof? don't you trust your parents? this is really a weird question you are asking. i guess, you have some kind of doubt in your mind. but still if you need proof, go for a DNA testing. see if your DNA matches with your parents or not.

it is a simple question.and you can find the answers so easily. have you ever left home for long time?as i went to another city to study,i see the tears in my father's eyes. have you ever become ill?as i saw the tears in my mother's eye when i was cutted by a knife. there are so many proof that i never need other evidences.it is just a feeling

When I came across this, I thought it was a strange question, but your right, to just see pictures isn't really proof. Your hear of cases where children were adopted at a very young age and didn't find out til much later after they were told. I guess your birth certificate would be a good indicator, but if you wanted solid proof it would have to be a DNA test, they can tell you with 99.9% accuracy whether you are or are not your parents child. But then, is that really important, your parents raised you for as long as you can remember in a loving caring home, so would it be so bad if you didn't come from them. Your discussion opens itself up to other questions like, what makes your parents your parents? Is it that you share the same DNA, or is it all the years of unconditional love they gave you, and all the support whether they are your biological parents or not.
