I know i am not adopted because my mom has a video of me being born (gross but whatever) and i look a bit like my dad, but how come i look almost just like my grandad from my dad's side. Im greek and my dad is more of a darker skin color and my mom a white but my grandad has a light cream honey skin which i have, and we both have blonde hair but my mom and dad have dark brown. Also i have two other siblings and i am the only one with light skin. Is it rare?

No. It's really common. The recessive gene can go back generations making children have uncanny resemblances with relatives outside their immediate family.

Now this is the simplest answer I have ever gave,,,
Take some DNA (dad and moms), Some genes from that DNA toss it in to a blender and the things that stood out of one strand of DNA from your family line and there you are but mixed with more of both sides...
You are 1 in a million and don't let anyone tell you different...
