Recently while doing genealogical research I found out that my father-in-law is most likely adopted and doesn't know it. The information came out when I was commenting to a distant cousin about how my father-in-law, his brother, and their father didn't look much alike. Apparently his adoptive mother wanted to tell him but never figured out how to before she died. Both his aparents are gone now. Everyone has told me to keep the secret, but it feels like deception to me. Does anyone have similar experiences?

Thanks for your help.
