IMPORTANT QUESTION!! Please answer seriously!!?

Well, before I tell you guys anything I want everyone to know that I love my parents but they are emotionally abusive most of the time and threaten to physically abuse me when super angry and that I’m curious to find answers.

So I was looking at my birth certificate a few weeks ago. I was looking at it because I was curious to know whether I am my parents birth child. the reason why I think I am not my parents birth child is because we look nothing alike and theirs a lot of traits that I don’t have from them. My parents have big round eyes, high cheekbones, narrow noses, thin lips, thin straight hair, long ears, short eyebrows, short necks, and tan skin. I have small almond shaped eyes, don’t have high cheekbones, a long big nose with a slight bump, I have medium-thick lips, thick curly hair, small ears, long eyebrows, a long neck, and pale olive skin. The traits my parents have have been passed down from many many generations and everyone in my family has those traits except me.

Not only that but I’m allergic to apples and cherries and have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome, embarrassing, but thought it would help answer the question)

Well back to the birth certificate- So I was looking at it and I noticed a few things that seemed out of the ordinary and made me wonder.My birth certificate was filed a month after I was born, was signed by doctors 1 month after I was born, and doesn’t have my parents signature, but instead has their names typed in the spot that was supposed to be signed. The biggest fishy thing was that on the side of my birth certificate it says "death under one year of age, to see death certificate for this child please enter state file number" but I don’t have a state file number. Also my sister’s birth certificate has a birth number but mine doesn’t. I also have a bith confirmination which is like my birth certificate excpet it has no sigatures. And my birth certificate is actually a "certificate of live birth"

My parents don’t believe in adoption but I still think I was adopted or given away. The thing is that I am 13 years old and can’t ask for my birth records.

SO my question is:
-Am I adopted or given away at birth?
-Does all this seem normal?
-Is there a chance that I was adopted or given away at birth?

P.S: I know that adoption and being gioven away isn’t funny and at times could be hurtful. I just can’t deal with my parnets abuse anymore and cps did come to my house but I just lied so they can go away. I didn’t want my parents getting in trouble. I just thought that maybe if they weren’t my parents, then maybe there is hope of me getting out of the house and that maybe there is a possibilty of me having loving and caring parents out there somewhere in the world. So please answer seriously and no hurtful comments. I just want to know other people’s opinions.

I was born in Reno, Nevada by the way and it’s a state in the U.S for those of you who don’t know. but I’m currently living in NY.

And thanks in advance to all the people who read this long question and made time to answer my question. All of you peoples help is great and I’m thankful for any answers given =)
@ Nani Barr- I know that traits can be passed down from 100 years ago but these traits have ran through both sides of my family since the beginning of time. We’ve only been one nationality since the beginning of time and a mixed marriage isn’t a possibility meaning the traits I have isn’t in the family. But maybe your right.

well a certificate of live birth is usually paperwork filed at a hospital after childbirth and sent to the county clerk afterward for the acual birth certificate. sounds like what you found is the copy that the hospital sends home for the parent’s personal records. doesn’t mean that you’re adopted. as far as your looks go, genetics are tricky, and not every child looks exactly like their parents. even after hundreds of years of looking the same. the thing is, whether you are adopte or not, if your parents really are treating you badly, you cant keep covering for them. unless you do or say something, you aren’t ever going to have the loving family you want

    Definitely seems odd. It also seems odd that your parents would tell u they don’t believe in adoption. It is almost like they advertently told you this so you wouldnt be suspicious?? Idk. Good luck!!!!

    Hi, If you were adopted, your birth certificate would say Amended and it would be filed more than 6 months after your birth. Here’s an excerpt from The Nevada Adoption Guide:

    "Finalization:
    The process in district court, in which an adoption is recognized by the law as final, and the adopted child is considered in the same relationship to you as though he/she were born to you. In Nevada, the child must have resided in the adoptive home for a minimum of six months before finalization can take place."

    Once an adoption is finalized, an amended birth certificate is issued. Based on the information you’ve given above, your parents are your biological parents.

    Filing a month after birth is pretty typical. I’m an adoptee and mine wasn’t filed until a year after I was born and the adoption was finalized.

    I’m sorry, they probably are your parents. Our 18-year-old daughter looks *nothing* like me. She’s blonde and blue-eyed and has a heart-shaped face. I’m brown haired and brown eyed and have an oval face. She is my daughter because she was the one that came out of me, but you sure couldn’t tell it by looking at us!
