My son just turned 17. I'm not his biological father and he does not know this. I married his mother when he was just 6 months old. I have always thought of him as my own and raised him as such. He is a very well adjusted child / young man. I know they day is coming when he will find out on his own. He will need his birth certificate for things, this I know. So my question is, how do I tell him, or do I just let him find out at this point. What is past is past, so please no down talk about why I didn't do it when he was little. My wife and I chose not to and that was our choice. We are thinking to tell him once he goes off to college next year and we are afraid he could get really upset, we do not know. As for his biological father, well he is dead and never wanted anything to do with him. He wanted my wife to have abortion, she refused, thus the divorce and then I came along. I am his real father as far as I'm concerned, but the real world does not see it that way. Help.
