at what age should you tell a child that he is adopted i.e he/she is not your biological child?

As soon as he can understand what you are talking about since their IQ levels vary from child to child.

but is it necessary or right to tell them?

I see no reason telling the child at all!!

What is the essence??
Just make sure you leave enough wealth and inheritance for the child!
Adoption is strictly for the rich!
If you are poor,you have no reason adopting!!
God knows the reason for not giving you a child!!

Telling him/her changes everything.

No matter how kind and good u are at playing mother or father's role to them; trust me once they know they will always crave for their real parents.

I think is better you tell him or her when he can distinguish between good and evil cos even if you didn't tell him someone else will and to avoid certain family problems its better you tell him.

Telling them its not necessary, no need to but if it's then I guess the best time is when they have grown/independent or even married
