Hi, I'm 17 and was adopted when I was a baby. And I don't know what my ethnic background is. I know my biological mother is white British, as I have a picture of her. She has light hazel eyes, light/medium brown hair, and very fair skin with freckles. And I have dark brown eyes, black eyebrows, very dark brown hair, and olive/tanned skin. I know nothing about my biologial father, for legal reasons, and I'd just like to know what his background is, as it's quite obvious i'm not full British. I know have a clue what I am. A couple a weeks ago a girl asked me if I was part Japanese as I have kind of oriental shape eyes. A few days ago someone from the Middle East asked if I was from England, and said I looked like the women fom Egypt and not English at all. But most people guess that I'm Spanish. It just upsets me a little that i'm not able answer them something as simple as that. I feel mixed up. Is there anything I can do to look up information about my dad?

Sorry, I forgot to add. I don't have my birth certificate. My adopted mum says my biological mum kept it.

You will eventually need a copy of your birth certificate in order to travel and do things, so go get a copy of it. You can order it. It should list on their a generalization of what your father is (you know where they check a box). Hopefully that will help. If not, when you're 18, you can hire a detective to find out from your bio-mom of find your bio-dad (which would be really expensive). I would just decide on a mixture and tell people that. I have a friend who doesn't know what she is either. She just says American Indian.

I think there's a site on the web, where it takes a picture of you, and it tells you what features you have and it matches it to a race. I forgot what the name of it was, so you could always google that. But if you want to know 100% what your racial makeup is, you'd have to get a genetical analysis test, and those are expensive. You need to secure a copy of your birth certificate, because if you ever want to travel, leave the country, or do anything requiring a passport and a proof of citizenship, you need the bc.

it relatively relies upon on the age of the baby you get. no count if that's an older baby they is generally conscious of 3. enable them to talk approximately it. cook dinner a meal as quickly as each week from their united states of america. locate books and study traditions from their subculture. With a smaller baby you're able to do an identical issues that's going to easily be greater study on your area. Be resourceful and constantly enable them to recognize the place they're from. i think of you're super for what you're doing. i will declare a prayer for you and your transforming into family contributors i recognize you would be blessed. people say what an inpact you will make on those baby's lives yet they are going to make in basic terms as massive if not greater on your existence.

Perhaps a DNA test could give you an accurate answer. Unless a father is listed on your birth certificate you will have to go seek out your birth mother and ask her.
