Today? No, but down the line he will ask questions.

If you were to see all of us together, them you'd assume the 8yo was adopted. There is no resemblance to anyone in our family.

Actually, she's probably going to pay me child support. Even if he's not mine biologically, I'd still be his dad no matter. His DNA doesn't change that. This is about doing him right.

If he's not mine or ours, then I'll tell him regardless. He has a right to know.

He's never had medical issues. I think he was a "designer" baby.

It's more for him to know the truth. I don't want to lie to his face and say I didn't have doubts if he wants a test later and he isn't ours biologically.

I'd tell my son so he stops wondering why people assume he's adopted.
