I was adopted at 5 weeks and I have always known I was adopted as my parents felt that if they didn't tell me someone else would have. I think it's important to be honest with your son as you clearly love him and want whats best for him. I was never given a negative story about my adoption but that my birthmother wanted me to have a good life but couldn't provide one for me at that time. I learnt more information as I got older but always felt that my a-mother wanted me to have this information but at the end of the day it was my decision if I chose to one day find her and she would support me as much as she could. If you son asks any questions, give as much info as you feel appropriate but as others have said, don't lie - just hold back some of the truth until he is older and if he wants to know.
Hope this helps - all the best with whatever you decide.
