Genetics are a funny thing. I bet your father gets a kick out of you looking like him. Yeah my SO is one of those people whose looks changed as he got older (hair color, build) so strangers think my youngest is a mailman's baby.
I never understood, who cares if you are adopted? Is it really any of their business? It doesn't make you any less a child of your parents.
My wife's father is Filipino-American. Her mother was born in Texas to a Polish-American father and a mother with a very sort of typical white American melange of European ethnicities - British, Irish, German, et cetera. She's also dyed her hair blonde since she was a young mother.
It's impossible for the family to count the number of times my mother-in-law has been assumed to not be part of the group of her brown-skinned, black-haired husband and his two tanned, dark-haired children.

when i was out with my mom as a kid, they would ask if i was adopted because i looked nothing like my mom, and very little like my father...
when i hit 14, almost the spitting image of my father with my mothers hair.
i am now 30, if i gained a bit of weight, i would be my father.
