[quote=Anonymous]I don't think "would you want to know as the kid" is the right question. The question is "As the parent, should you tell your daughter."

Yes, you should, because better she hears it from you. You can tell her that it doesn't affect how much her father loves her but that you felt she had the right to know the truth.

You can tell yourself your daughter won't find out, but I'd say it's between possible and likely that she eventually will. Maybe she looks different from her siblings. Maybe she has always sensed there was something about her birth that her parents weren't telling her. Maybe she will find an old photo album or letters or meet another family member or old family friend who will let it slip. Maybe she will get genetic testing when she's trying to get pregnant in 15 years and will find out then. You just don't know. So, tell her now. It doesn't have to be a huge deal, although if she does react by wanting to know about her bio dad you should support her in that too. [/quote]
