My best friend was in the same situation as you were but her daughter new always that she had two dad's. Even though her biological father was in and out of the picture she had a constant in her step-dad whom she calls dad. She's 14 now and calls her bio-dad by his name (her choice totally) and her step-dad, dad. I don't think telling a lie is ever the right thing to do. If she knows the whole time growing up then she it will be normal to her but if she knows this man all her life and then finds out he's her dad she'll be really upset, trust me. Go around this site and read some adoptee's stories about how they didn't find out until they were older and see how they liked it. Please just be honest with her.
