They should know eventually. Everyone has a right to know their genetic history.
However, they are probably too young now. I would wait to tell them when they are able to understand. But one day they will have to know since there are genetic implications.
You can solve your problem (for now) but accepting the child as your grandchild. It doesn't matter where the child came from. Natural or not, the child is now part of your family.
If you do this when the time comes to tell your two other kid then they will KNOW that family is more than biology.
I'm going to toss this out there, I think it might be a bit relavent, though I don't know how much help.
S, one of our 23 y/o DSs is a foster son who never left.
Maybe you can find some answers here:
