Oh yeah, this is the way to start a marriage.

Dear Prudence,
My husband and his parents look nothing alike. We were married a few months ago and since they live in India, where he grew up, I had never seen them in person until a week before our wedding. When we picked them up from the airport, I was shocked! His facial features and body structure were completely different from theirs, especially his father. My husband is also much taller than both of them. I understand that genetics are unpredictable but a few other things make me wonder. One, he is an only child and mentioned that he believes his mother had several miscarriages during his childhood that were not talked about. Two, his parents are a bit on the older side. Three, he looks exactly like his maternal aunt and their daughters and is tall like her husband (6-foot-2). I’m pretty sure that his aunt and uncle are his real parents and my parents and siblings even approached me about it after the wedding asking if he was adopted. My husband adores his parents and maybe I shouldn’t say anything, but I can’t help being curious! Should I let it go or ask him what he thinks?

*blink blink* She is a moron. DH and his youngest brother look absolutely nothing alike and you wouldn't guess they were related. Then you put his oldest brother between them and you can see it. Some families look alike, some don't, get over it.

Also, I'm my aunt's twin. I look kind of like bio mom, but aunt and I have been stopped on the street to ask if we were mother and daughter. While aunt nearly did adopt me at one point, that doesn't mean she birthed me.

This! In our family you've got to look at multiple generations to see where the looks come from.. It's actually quite interesting to see in the genetic markers generations skipped for certain features. This gal needs a little education on genetics and even if he was (not saying that's the case AT ALL), what difference would it make, his parents are his parents, doesn't have to mean she had to birth him to make him their real child!

Same here. DH looks like his grandfather but not either of his parents or any of his siblings except asshole-half-brother. His sister looks just like their aunt.

This chick sounds like she just loves to stir the pot.

as long as everyone is vaccinated, who cares who the bio mom and dad are?
