My personal belief is that you should as few secrets as possible. Start now telling him he has siblings. Explain that they live somewhere else. Make it age appropriate. When he starts asking about his bmom tell him "your bmom told me..." When he gets to the stage where he asks "when did she tell you..." be honest. Never lie. Take his cue. When he asks about seeing her explain why you are not going to allow it at this time. Honesty and as few secrets as possible but keep it age appropriate. Just my opinion.
