Whew....that's never easy telling your kids. I too had kept bson a secret and needed to be open and honest. I suggest you start with something like......"I have something to tell you that I wished I had told you years ago. When I was .........I had a child that I placed for adoption. He has been in contact with me and..........
I know its not easy. My eldest son found it really hard to accept I had kept something from him that was his....(an older brother) and took months to get over his disappointment but with time was able to understand that his half-brother wasn't taking his place as oldest child, but instead was a welcome addition to the family mix.
((Hugs)) and best wishes with your reunion. Take it slow - take your time with all three - and I hope you have many memorable moments to celebrate together.
ps. I am sure Hubby will realise that this early uphoria doesn't detract from your relationship with him and life (and your emotions) will settle down soon.
