who says he is not his dad? does he avoid bonding with him? does he deny him? not only was I not made from my dads sperm, but I also did not come out of my moms vagina. my birth mother and sperm donor are nothing (though I am grateful my birth mother did not kill me when she had the chance.)

The longer you wait to tell him the truth, the more betrayed your child will feel
-
tell him if or when he asks
-
tell him when he asks or get a book that tells a similiar story. They have books for everything now. You could read it and say " this is how it is in our family~so and so isn't your biological dad, but he's like a dad because we are together. :)

If possible never tell him the reality or postpone it till he is mature enough.At least he could enjoy the company of his father in the moment.

Tell him.

At the end of the day the man who helped bring up your boy is his Dad. He has been his role model, provided for him etc and basically just been there. When your boy is mature enough too handle the truth, I reckon thats the time to tell him. Theres a big difference between being a sperm donor/father that has never been intrested and a real man who has stuck around and being a true dad. Good luck
-
You should tell him so that he does not feel lied to, but the man who helped raise him is his real dad. The other man is literally a sperm donor.

How old is your child?

I'm in the same situation. My husband entered our life when my son was 2. My son is 7 now and knows that he was produced by my first husband and I. I would suggest the movie 'Look who's talking' and letting him know that your family is like theirs. My son identified with it immediately. Someone else got mommy pregnant, but she picked out the best dad she could find and he's the real daddy.
