I am married to an adoptee and he said that it is really important never to lie or withhold info (of course, in an age appropriate way).
We have some "tough stuff" to address with our DD and a friend of mine made a good point. You can say (truthfully): "this is what we were told. we don't know if it is true or not." and of course then you can explain the "cultural" reasons that it may not be true (without painting his birth mom as a "liar," etc.).
Tough stuff, I know!
