You don't need to wait until 6 or 7. It's better if it's never a "reveal". If he understands who you are and who his grandparents are, then he can understand about a birth father, as much as a 3 yr old can. There are many 3 yr olds who understand birth parents because they'e always been told.
It shouldn't be a "when do we tell him?" It should just be something that is included as part of his life story, his heritage, and his genetics that is discussed little by little, throughout his whole life, starting now. He'll understand in parts just like he will about so many other things about family and life, so there is no need to wait until he can understand it all at once.
He shouldn't have to wait to be told. He should just know.
Be assured, be confident, lead him into understanding over the next 20 yrs. Start now.
Best Wishes.
