[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I should have clarified that DS IS DH's and my biological child.

Appreciate everyone's input and for validating my instinct that we should tell him. Like I said, we weren't intentionally keeping it from him. We just never thought to bring it up. But now that he is learning and talking about it I feel this is a good time to share how he was conceived. I feel like waiting until he's older would make it more awkward and potentially cause some resentment from DS if we wait. There's certainly no shame on my side and have shared our journey with friends who also struggled with infertility. I actually think it's pretty awesome how we were able to bring him into the world. That said, DH is very private and there may be some shame there knowing it was due to male factor infertility. But like some of you have pointed out that may be something we would need to confront with DS in the future and telling him now that he was an IVF baby will help provide context later on.[/quote]
