I am pregnant by an older man who has 2 adopted children(21&20)...?

He is very worried of how to tell them because he wants them to know that they ARE and will ALWAYS be the same. We both know/feel that but maybe a third party on how for him to word it to them would be helpful...thanks.

Update:

Good point on one of the answers...no they do not know about me.

    They're old enough to be able to handle it and not to get jealous over the bio-child VS adopted child issue. Do they know you guys were together? If not then it may be a shock to them. If they did though, they probably would have expected that with you being younger you may want children someday.

    sometimes less is more, and I think that's the case here. These are adult children and they should not feel threatened by a baby. If he tries to explain that they will, "Always be the same," that will only call attention to the fact that it's on the father's radar. Actions speak louder than words and he should simply show them rather than telling them. Each child is unique and each relationship with children is unique.
