I think honesty is simple- we as humans complicate it.
Did you guys talk about your birth family growing up? Maybe if it was not talked about you could first bring it up in casual conversation...like asking them what they were like? Did they meet them? Maybe that might work??
Just like Olivias mom I will make sure my daughter knows she was adopted and we will welcome her birth family into our relationship. What would devistate me is for her to be mad because I hid the past from her.
Maybe start out with small questions and work from there. The fact you have not told your mom and dad tells me maybe adoption was not an open subjuect in your home growing up?
Things my husband and I talked over before adopting were the reality that we were not the bio parents and we had to embrace that somehow. We also agreed if the child asked we would tell them what info we had.
In the last 7 months we have left a paper trail that should help quite a bit if our daughter wants to find her bio parents.
Good luck
