Back around the year 2000, I had some testing done that suggested potential homozygosity—and when I asked about it, the response I got was that being homozygous implies one is the product of incest. However, my legal parents aren't my biological ones—because, let’s be honest, relatives can't marry under American law—and my legal mother falls into the Romani ethnic group according to physiognomy, though she flatly denies it. People who have seen her photos would certainly agree she belongs to that group. To make matters even more complicated, the paternity test came back positive, but the maternity part was never confirmed at that 99.9% threshold. Furthermore, the Rh factors of my legal parents don't match my own blood type at all.
The analysis shows that my father is actually the one carrying the highest number of homozygous allele combinations—which, in my view, is something characteristic only of offspring from incestuous unions—so it turns out I'm not even the homozygous one, my legal father is! This completely contradicts that finding from 2000.
I wasn't adopted, which, in my estimation, means my very identity was stripped away from me—it feels as though everything was just scrambled in some lab. I don't even know if I was born in a hospital, because there is a photo of me at thirteen days old where I literally have a "hole in my navel"—an unconnected umbilical cord—and a slightly twisted ankle... I mean, seriously, would a baby ever leave a hospital with an unconnected navel?
What can actually be done legally in this specific situation to find out who my true biological parents are? It feels like the institutions are just turning a deaf ear to my questions—or perhaps the lab simply swapped our samples (mine and my legal father's). The situation is such that they look me right in the eye and lie to me... what am I supposed to do? This is, quite frankly, the theft of my identity from the moment of my birth. I have no intention of going around visiting hospitals, because I can't even be certain I was born in one to begin with.
