Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
There is absolute chance of getting a different blood group other than father.
By the way you did not mention your wife blood group.
Actually speaking there may be genetic variations in parents and kids.Blood group is mainly determined by chromosomal arrangement.
O group individuals may get B group kids if the mother is B or AB ,so your kids may have A/B/AB/O depending on your wife blood group.
About the skin tone there are many reasons to explain about this, starting from genetics to drugs and food taken during pregnancy and environmental conditions.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
