DEAR ABBY: Recently a child in my husband's family was to undergo surgery. The child's mother asked all of the family members to donate blood. This child has A positive blood, and everyone in my husband's family except him also has A positive blood. My husband's blood type is O positive.
Abby, I am convinced that the people he knows as his parents are not his biological parents. My husband will not mention this to them unless someone more knowledgeable than I tells him it's unlikely that these two people are his parents. I feel it is his right to know who his parents are.
Do you think that the people he believes are his parents actually are? Or do you feel that he should confront them and ask for a DNA test? -- NAMELESS IN ARIZONA
DEAR NAMELESS: Your husband's parents are not hiding anything from him. I checked with Jeffrey Morris, M.D., Ph.D., the director of Long Beach Genetics in Long Beach, Calif., who assured me that two parents with A positive blood can, most definitely, have a child with O positive blood. I vote with the doctor. Stop stirring the pot.
