I feel so low and guilty

Hi all. I'm completely balling my eyes out writing this so I apologise if anything doesn't make sense. I have a 3 year old son. His bio father has nothing to do with him by choice and I couldn't even tell you where he is. Bio father was adopted as a young child and only had his adoptive mum and dad and their bio daughter growing up. They don't even have anything to do with my son. No messages absolutely nothing as I don't believe they even have anything to do with their adoptive son. I'm feeling absolutely heartbroken for my son. When he's older I'm so scared he's going to feel so lost and also feel he has no idea who half of him is or where he's from, and to top it off his bio dad left him and it's breaking my heart 💔 😭
He does have his step dad who's been there from the start and he's too young to explain anything at the moment as he calls SD daddy and will grow believing he is (he's also autistic) so we aren't sure how we will go about explaining anything at the moment until we know how much he can understand as he grows. I just needed to get this out somewhere 🥺 not only will I have the heartbreak of him knowing my partner isn't his bio dad but also I don't even know half his heritage. He has bio family out there and have no idea where, he could have uncles or aunts that were also adopted and would love to have him as a part of their family 🥺

He is lucky to have his step dad who is involved and has provided a good father figure. These situations are pretty normal and is all your son has known so may not be as big an impact as you are thinking
