A shocking adoption discovery

Hi everyone. Our little guy Austin has been home from Guatemala for over a year now. I'm in the middle of his readoption and reviewing his paperwork.

For some reason I missed a paragraph in his paperwork which was the translation of his birth mother's social worker report. This report stated that his birth mother was raped and that Austin was the result of that.

To say I was shocked was an understatement. I talked to my husband and we have differing views. I think that this is a detail that he never needs to know. My husband thinks when he is old enough we shouldn't keep anything from him.

Either way, my heart just breaks for his birthmother. Has anyone else had this situation?
