Wow, this is an old thread! But still, it's interesting.

My dad is my dad. We are very much alike, both physically and in some character traits as well. Maybe I will post a pic of him and you can judge

Aside from the usual family resemblances of hair colour, eye colour, facial features, everyone in my family has a bony lump on the middle finger of their right hand. Even though my sister is much more like my mum's side, she still has the lump!

Some recentish findings in biology and psychology strongly suggest that familial resemblance is entirely in the genes - according to the studies, upbringing has no part in it. So if you are substantially like your parents, it's very likely that they are your biological parents. No need for a DNA test!
