i agree with leed.
as for keeping secrets sometimes it is the only choice we have. in the interest of your mom it's a small price to pay. i assume later you can shout your good news from the rooftop!!!!  it is so wonderful you know you have a sibling and that you've taken him into your heart. i am so happy for you.
