Just to prefice, I'm using a throwaway and being purposefully vague because I know my family have reddit and I don't want to be checked into an asylum.
My family are white. Everyone. There isn't a single person I'm (knowingly) related to that's of another race.
I've only seen one baby (below 6 months) photo of myself. It's of my older brother holding me, and I look a couple of months old. There are plenty of my brother and younger sisters at the hospital when they were born. All three were born with blonde hair and blue eyes- I was born with dark brown hair and green eyes. All throughout my childhood and adult life people have assumed I'm mixed race, or made little jokes and comments ("your mum is very good friends with the milkman" lol) It was a running joke in my family about me being adopted. My parents just laughed it off so I was never REALLY suspicious of anything. They are sensible people, they would definitely tell me anything. Genes can be weird.
I was looking through my online birth records, as well as my siblings. I noticed something super strange. Unlike the others, I had 2 birth records. The second was exactly a month and a day after my birthday. I asked my mum about it and she said it was the day they registered my birth. What? Why would there being a 2 different records? With different birth dates? None of my siblings had 2 records. I'm not a birth record expert so I didn't push it.
Unrelated, I told my mum I wanted to do a DNA test (just thought it was cool) and she said she'd do it and I could look at her results, there's no point in us both doing it. I'm only 50% her so it would be a bit pointless to be honest.
My parents actually told me that I was an accident so it just seems so hard to believe that I'm not theirs (or one of theirs, sorry dad) They don't even break a sweat when people comment on it. I just look a different race. They also didn't know my blood type when I had to go for tests.
Am I going demented in lockdown or should I just get the darn DNA test?
TLDR; I look a different race to my family and have 2 birth records.
