[quote=Anonymous][quote]I would like to know.. (maybe) 
but if I knew I would like to keep it a secret from my siblings. They don't need to know. It will be a secret mom, dad and I to have..[/quote]

I was going to mention this . . . that this should be the child's information from this point onward and the child should be the one to decide who else is privy to the information.

Also, does this child look substantially different from the other two siblings.  My brother's wife had this exact situation and sort of "figured it out" when she was a teenager and started asking her mom questions.  At that point her mother basically lied to her.  She later found out the truth and her relationship with her mother suffered greatly.  She continued to have a wonderful relationship with her (nonbiological) father until he died.

I think you should tell the child (after consulting a therapist).

As for biology and health issues, I think that DNA testing will become commonplace in future health care (for everyone).  So the issue of knowing your biological parents will become moot.  At least I hope this happens since we have an adopted child and we do not know who the biological father was.   [/quote]
