You shouldn't hide the adoption. It will be easier for your child to learn the truth at an earlier age, than to be faced with it at a later age. The fact that your husband is not the child's biological father does not change the fact that he has been there for your son for the past seven years. Your son deserves to know the truth, and hiding that from him will only cause him to resent you and your husband from keeping it from him when he does find out. I would suggest finding a good counselor to help your family deal with this. Keeping this as a secret will only harm your family in the long run.
