I am wondering if anyone has an open adoption with birth parents in a situation where the birth parents did not tell their families about the pg/birth/adoption?

It obviously has not been an "issue" so far since DD is 17 months....but I just think it may be sort of strange for her to know that she is a big "secret," esp. in a situation where she will see her birth parents/sister at least one time/year.

I know it is not my "place," but should I encourage birth parents to tell their families? How "open" can our adoption be if this is looming out there.....I obviously want her to know her other birth relatives if someday she chooses to??? TIA.
