I'm not the person you were asking, but I agree that keeping this a secret seems like a mistake. Between the increasing popularity of genetics & ancestry services and the increase in health & fitness tracking, it seems extremely likely that your child would eventually find out that they aren't related to your side of the family and/or have half siblings out there. The lie seems potentially much more damaging to your relationship than the fact that you are a loving father to a deeply wanted child who does not share your blood.

>The lie seems potentially much more damaging to your relationship than the fact that you are a loving father to a deeply wanted child who does not share your blood. As someone who found out the hard way - 100% fully agreed. I loved my father (mother too) very much, and they, me. And now that I know the truth and they have both passed, we can never talk about it, and there is a thorn of resentment that, frankly, I do not know if I will ever be able to fully remove.
