How can you tell if you have an older sibling who was adopted when you were a baby if your parents deny it?

You can compare the DNA between yourself and your older sibling. Siblings have APPROXIMATELY (as in, on average) 50% the same genes, because each gene has a random chance of being inherited from the mother or father. If you are related (brother, half-brother, cousin, etc) then the DNA similarities will be obvious. If you are not, well, that also will be obvious.
