I agree with Brandy.
Your son absolutely will be better off if he knows about his biological heritage. But, start slow. You don't know the birth family. Start with first names, and go from there. Be honest with them. Explain that you're not comfortable divulging all of your information all at once, and hope they understand.
Good luck!

Child #1: Is that your mother?
Child #2: Yes.
Child #1: Why is she white and you are black?
Child #2: Because I am adopted, and black people have more melanin than white people do.
Child #1: Oh, let's go on the high bars.
