[quote=Anonymous]The people who are urging OP not to tell the child probably are not adoptive parents. Adoptive Families magazine just had a short article about this very issue (how to tell a child that s/he was conceived because of rape, and other cases involving difficult information). It's not an easy thing but the consensus among adoption professionals is that children should know their whole story, even aspects that are not so wonderful or even downright horrible (in an age-appropriate way) before they hit the teenage years.[/quote]
