Well, secrects don't stay secrets very long....Better to tell them casually next time the subject of adoption, prior marriage/children is brought up.

That way it's more of a "by the way" thing rather than a "I have an announcement" thing

I'd also probably give this marriage (relationship with in-laws) a year or at least until you feel like you know one another. Besides, If they're still getting to know you then telling them won't be a major revelation...it'll just be one little thing in the list of what makes you - you.

I really don't think it's anything to be ashamed of...so don't let that stop you.
