I would never conceal the fact that the child was adopted. As a child grew old enough to understand this word and ask questions, they would be answered truthfully. I don't discuss pornography, masturbation, torture, etc. with my children (ages 3-8). They are too young to understand and deal with this type of subject. Just so, I would delay the revelation of the hideous conception of the adopted child until it was old enough.
Gotcha. Sorry, I thought the meaning was that one would simply claim that the husband was the biological father.
That will be a tough one when you tell the child who the biological father is though. Specially the circumstances.
