It is hard to figure out what to say since their are many reasons that people place unknown on a birth certificate. He will still need the birth father to consent to a DNA test. Yes they all have the right to know but there are times when it just isn't possible to give them that information.

Originally Posted By MichelleHi, I was adopted myself and my birthfather was unknown my parents never really focused on that fact but justtold me since the day i was born that i was adopted. my mom told me all she knew and i was happy with that. maby your child will be different but i have a cousin and a neighbor who were adopted and had the same situation and their parens handled it the same way and none of us ever questioned it nor has the technique ever failed with us. i wish you luck with your child and please always be honest and let them know all you know. Also don't stess the fact that they are a "mistake" but that they are special
