that's a tough one. I would encourage my husband to sit down and talk to his father. He's blood related and so is your son; if your father in law cuts off contact because he's angered by the revelation-chances are it would dissolve once he realizes he's not angry at the messengers but his parents.
It's been my experience that each jurisdiction within each state has it's own rules for ammending bcerts-so that may not be a way to determine it's validity(ex- NYC differs from NYState-mine from the city shows that it was certified two days after my birth-when my actual birth was reported to the city).
Frankly, if enough family members are telling you to hush-it's probably true. Family trees normally have a special notation for adoption-sit your father in law down and explain that you'd like to formalize the family tree and tell him what you've learned. If he decides to search -think of the extra branches you can add!
