A+ is not rare.. it is common

hmmmm.. I could be wrong.. but doesn't one of your parents have to be the same blood type as you?.. so your father has to be A+

All blood types are accepted as donations. The RH- is rare. The blood center, such as American Red Cross, will find out what type of blood you have and let you know. Meanwhile, donate to help others. i think your mom could donate because she is O+ because that blood is universal and no your blood type and rare. AB+ is a rare blood type

It is not rare and yes your birthmother could donate blood to you. You can receive A+ and - and O+ and - red blood cells.

PS O+ is NOT universal, but O- is

Yes. She can donate blood to you as " O " does not have any antigen to precipitate trnsfusion reaction. Rh+ve in both is compatible. It's not rare. I think AB+ is rare.

I have A - blood type.Mine family have A+,AB +..I can t give them,they can t give me blood..Only A - blood type can give blood to me..If I need one day..I think O type can give to all,but not given from all to him.But I am not sure..
