Yes
The ABO blood group is run in each person by two sets of genes. These genes code for a protein or flag on the red blood cell - properly called an "antigen"
If you are blood group A you would have an A flag from one of your parents and either an A flag or an O (ie. no flag) from the other.
Blood Group A - AA or AO
If you are blood group B you would have a B flag from one and a B or O from the other
Blood Group B - BB or OB
If you are blood group O you would have both genes giving O or no antigen
If you are blood group AB you would have an A from one parent and a B from the other.
So if both parents are AO or if one is AO and one is BO or some similar arrangement, you could see that the child has 25% chance of getting O from one parent and O from the other parent (50% chance of each) and so
Mom AO (ie blood group A)
Dad BO (ie blood group B)
Children: 25% O (OO)
25% A (that is AO)
25% B (that is OB)
25% AB (AB, of course)

Yes totally possible. The parents could be AO and BO (They would just show as A and B) the recessive gene of O can be passed to the child. I am O pos and both my parents are A pos. I know it sounds odd but it happens a good bit.

it is possible if the parents carry the recessive O gene. if the parents are both O, then the baby must be O. but if the parents are A or B then they could have an O child. If a parent is AB then the child cannot be O.

Hmmm, sounds like maybe we have a donor issue? Might be that a grand parents is hidden in the parents and reveled in the grand children?
