I'm not a troll but i have quite a few frinds on here who know both me and dh personally so don't want to risk anything.

Dh is adopted and we all know this but none of the family really discuss it. He says he knows his birth mothers name but that's about it. Anyway, I went to see his aunty the other day and we got onto the subject in the new recently about birth mothers etc being able to trace their adopted children and I said that dh doesn't kow what he would do if he got the letter from an agency saying that someone was trying to find him. His aunty told me that if he wanted to know the details about his adoption then he should speak to his aunty X who arranged it all as his birth mother knew them and it was all sorted out via them. Anyway she then told me that as far as she knew his birth mother was a single woman who already had one child when she was pg with dh and that she just couldn't cope.

Dh does not know this and the story I get from him is that she was very young and couldn't cope with a child at the time.

Would you keep quiet about it?

Dh is adopted and I asked him the question as if it were me and him. Bearing in mind he has no plans at all to find his birth parents, he said seeing as you know you would have to tell. Keeping a secret like that could do alot of damage in the future.

I would say it like it is, that his Aunty came out and told you the story and you felt you couldn't do anything other than listen etc etc.

Good Luck!

PS You don't think the aunty could be his mum do you?

I do have the same hesitation as was mentioned earlier - surely if he wanted to know more he would have asked around the family already? I think this is a hug can of worms and possibly the best thing to do would be to keep the information safe until such time as your dh wants / needs to know.Not sure if this is feasible for you though.
