When to tell him?
If anyone could help me with a little problem I am having it would be so appreciated. A little background, my son was 16 mo when I met him, 3 when I married my DH he is now 7 we have 2 other children 3 and 18 mo. We have not told him about his biological mom because she has not had contact since abandoning him at 9 mo. My DH feels so guilty about the subject, and feels it is his responsibility to tell him. I do not agree. We are currently in the step parent adoption process. Whoo hoo! Our attny says that the case is pretty cut and dry, she has not paid child support, or attempted contact in 6 years. I was wondering how everyone would go about telling him the truth. It gets a little awkward here and there when he asks normal little boy questions and I feel as though I am lying to him. Any help would be appreciated.
