Well, let`s see. My mom is hispanic and has hazel eyes and very black hair with medium skin. My dad is anglo and has black hair and green eyes and medium skin. My sister has brown eyes and black hair with a little darker skin, my brother brown hair and green eyes with medium skin, and I have grey eyes and reddish brown hair with medium skin. My mom`s sister is darker than her and all her kids turned out darker than us with black hair and brown eyes. Her husband was anglo also with brown hair and blue eyes. So what you get is a luck of the draw.

Yes.  And it should be easier if you are male.  (Your post doesn't say if you are male.)\n\nReason:  Two brothers from the same father will share the same Y-chromosome.  You always get your Y-chromosome from your dad (your mom doesn't have one).

Don't jump to conclusions that your mom cheated or that you were adopted.  While this may or may not be true, it is very likely that both your parents are your biological parents. These types of things DO happen.  There is an interesting video series called ANSWERS IN GENESIS, and there are also genetic studies being done now to show that it is entirely possible to have a different skin color than your parents.  Scientists are actually now finding that there are more genetic differences between two individual people of the same race than there are between two races, even two races as stereotypically different as white and black.  Anyone who opens their eyes long enough can see that white and black people are more similar than they are different, even genetically speaking.

I am closer with my mom. Maybe because I am a girl and I can tell my mom all my concerns and ask her all my questions. I love them both though..

Sometimes it makes me wonder who the child really is.  My mother has always been like the 5-year old that will throw a fit until she gets her way...while my dad is looking like her like she is a total idiot.  I had chosen to "side" (for lack of a better term) with my dad, while my mother has always puzzled me...on MANY levels.  Maybe her and I are too much alike?  Or we are just too different...in either case, she is the one that makes me feel torn.

You can try a small get-together or a family reunion or a family Picnic. When you meet your daughter, tell her about your revelations and dont say anything that might seem as though you may be pointing something in her. dont compare her with the other daughter with who you get along well (as that may unknowning to you be considered a threat to the her.) \nI advise this to my mom whenever I get a chance to talk to her. We are 3 sisters and she cant get through to the middle one but with me she is fine, and many times she unintentionally compares her to me. presently She has stopped doing that and her relation with my sis has improved. \nBest of luck though, be friends! they are pretty grown up with their own family and somewhere in their heatrs they look for a friend in  parents

It's confusing question but if it is a girl's Mom than her call her Mrs. until she says different and the aunts call them aunt if you like................

If she thinks you are closer to your sister than to your wife, it makes them think that there is something wrong with the marriage relationship. Watch your actions and see if you tend to take your sister's side over your wife's. See if they get along and if not, why? Does it have anything to do with family/life ideals? Parenting? These are things that she cannot change about you or your sister and it is frightening to her, even though there is no threat of cheating, it is the same feeling. You are giving emotions to your sister that she cannot compete with.

You may have thought your whole life that you were an only child just because thats how things seem. However this sister of yours has been here even if you knew nothing about it. Your mom may not have felt she was stable financiall or emotionally to care for you  when she gave you up for adoption. this does not mean she loves you any less. she was looking out for your best interest at the time, and in the long run. As for your sister, your mom may have felt horrible about letting you go and not wanting to feel the same hurt again kept your sister. But since you are in a different home you will never know what would have been, and that could be a good thing. I am sure you have had many blessings in your life. you are older now and you have the right to see your mom as well as to become close with your sister. It is great to have someone to share your secrets, loves, tragedies, and thoughts with that may even share the same views and console you. You have the choice to help keep your sister from making some of the same mistakes you might have made, or give her advice on things she doesn't feel comfortable with. You can make this a positive situation. Its not easy, i know, but you can't change the past. but you can make a difference in your future as well as your sisters and moms. \nAS far as your dad hating you. He sounds like he got a wild hair up his butt. pay him no mind. and his accusations are very irrational. he should get a clue. good luck girl

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.

Im sorry about your mom, it is okay to freak out, especially because your moms death is so recent. You still have 2 years left to think and eventually you will figure out that it is ok to leave your dad and your sister.Eventhough your sister is an "airhead" in two years she can grow out of it and im pretty sure she will take care of your dad no matter what.

I have an older sister and a younger one. I don't think one sister exist in the universe who wants to push her sister away by intention. it is a wrong perception in younger sisters.when they grow up, this misunderstanding will resolve.

Wait!!!! Just wait......she's not ready to know. When she is ready, she will contact you........ and then you can tell her. \n\nFor now, just cool your heels and rest easy in the knowledge that you know your twin sister and your birth parents.

I know my parents love me and my two siblings equally. Being the eldest, i guess they were fond of me a 'bit' more..ofcourse i dont question them. When i was a kid i used to feel awkward at the thought of my mom and dad sharing their love with this little sister i had..but now over the years, i have realised that it is very very difficult for parents to differentiate between children they have made..who came from them..\n\nBut i do often use it as an excuse to get their attention sometimes..that she loves my sis and my bro more than me (and ofcourse i know that isnt true)..
