For our older child's bfamily -- we are the first Jews they have ever met!!!! They are Southern Bapists. Later Bmom told us she supposed Jews existed but really hadn't ever considered Jewish as an option for someone's religion -- just assumed everyone would be Christian. She's been really open-minded about our faith. Even learning a bit about kosher food.
We told the bmom(s) (for both of our children) in our first or 2nd conversation about our religion. We felt the family should know upfront and I even remember saying to each of them (as well as to other pbmoms we talked to) that we'd completely understand their wanting their child to grow up in a family of their own faith... Didn't want to get too far into establishing a connection if they wanted a Christian family for their child. Kinda like the PP said, didn't want them to feel we'd lied by NOT saying we're Jewish early on in our discussions...
Hope things work out for the best for all of you.
