Okay, our two choices are:
#1, be dishonest and then when the truth comes out, as it always does, your child will not trust you and wonder what else you have lied to them about...
or
#2, be honest and explain, that your bfather didn't want to be a "parent" but was a good enough friend to help me achieve something I wanted.
Hmmmm...no brainer, honesty is always the best policy. Sometimes it may be a little hard to swallow, but it sure beats being lied to, especially about something so important to us adoptees, where did we come from.
Just my two cents.

*memory of C. Scott Padget, III
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
I Corinthians 13:4-8
May I learn to follow this kind of love.
