[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are both A+. Our son is O+. Not sure how that happened. [b]I’m kind of disappointed that he doesn’t have the same blood type as either of us (because it’s nice to have things in common with your children)[/b], but it is what it is.[/quote] This is an understatement. People take being genetically similar to their children for granted until their child needs an organ or bone marrow transplant. My son needed a kidney transplant and neither my husband nor myself could donate to him because we didn’t genetically match. He’s type A blood, and we’re type AB blood. That automatically disqualified us. It’s hard to understand how gut-wrenching getting that news is unless you experience it firsthand. Needing to rely on a stranger to save your child’s life is terrifying.[/quote]
