I have an aunt that I resemble in every way-looks, disposition, etc. She has twin sons that are 5 years older than me, and they have always told me that I'm really their younger sister, and their dad didn't want a girl, so they gave me to my aunt's younger brother, who i believed to be my dad. The sad part is, all my life I've questioned this, and everyone just laughs like it's a big joke, but I have never had it either confirmed or denied. I'm eighteen now, and a little part of me still believes my older cousins/brothers...or whatever.
