I married my present husband when my daughter was only 18 mos old. I was separated from her bio dad and my present hubby entered her life when she was only 3 mos old. I still felt it was important that she know the truth as soon as she was able to comprehend it. The last thing I wanted to do was have her find out this "secret" from someone else.
IMHO, regardless of whether or not her bio dad is an active participant in her life (my daughter's was not) she needs to know the truth. Trust me, 30 years later, my daughter would be the first one to tell you who her "Dad" is.
It is impossible to keep a secret of this magnitude for long. Please consider how hurtful it could be for her to find out later that her own mother, whom she loves and trusts above all else, deceived her about such an important issue.
