Beth,
I'm an adult adoptee and I agree with Oceans. Stick to the facts - not the guesses, not the editorials, not the he said - she saids. And, as always, age appropriate so that he receives more information as he gets older. I don't think you should hide anything in his file as he gets older and asks - it is written and he will have access to it at some point.
Having a baby and giving it up for adoption is extremely stressful and both bmom and bdad may not react in a way that they are proud of 18 years from now. But, the bottom line, is that his bmom loved him enough to carry him and to give him to people who would love him and raise him when she didn't feel like she could. Nothing should ever outweigh that fact.
Good luck ... and enjoy your son.
Jill
