[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't tell your mom, and I'd wait to tell the child about this until they were old enough to be able to make an informed, thoughtful, and independent decision about who, if anyone, they want to tell. There is no need to tell your mom, and if I were you I wouldn't tell her the truth if directly asked. This is none of her business, and all of yours and your child's.

Many of my siblings and cousins are adopted, and we're all more or less the same race, but aside that we don't look too similar, but so many genetically related siblings/cousins don't look exactly the same either. And my family still talks about how someone has this aunts eyes or smile or that uncles mannerism. [/quote]

I wouldn't tell MIL.  It's actually none of her business, and I would keep it private, not because it was a shameful secret, but because it's my child's personal medical information, and I don't think that kind of stuff should be public knowledge.

And my family does the same thing wrt adoptees.  [/quote]
