Should she know?

Years ago I was raped. I am LDS and my husband and I agreed that taking the pill they offered to prevent conception would cause me untold guilt.So he took matters in hand, so to speak and reasoned that if he put his seed in me we should never know that the child that may result was not his. He died sometime later and I gave her for adoption. She has been told she is a child of rapeand now is about to be a other herself. She wanted to have any edical info on the assailants that I have(Ihave none). Should she know it is possible she was born in covenant?

Update:

Blessed how do I do DNA when the comparison(my husband) is no longer here?

    There should be some medical information on your husband from a dr. or hospital, even though he's deceased. You owe it to your birth daughter to give her as much information as you can. If she has the same blood type as you and your husband, you will know as well that you gave her up for nothing. If she has a different blood type, then you can figure she's the other man's child. If you knew his name, you also owe it to her to give her the name. You might not like to be reminded of what happened, but it is not the girl's fault that it happened. She is a victim all the way around. If she proves to be the daughter of you and your husband, how do you feel about that?

    You should inform her, if you can, that there is a possibility that she was fathered by someone Other than the rapist. If you have medical info on your late husband, you should make that available to her, along with your own if you haven't already.

    Why would you tell a child that the child is a product of rape? Like the child had anything to do with that. If you did not take the pill that they offered you to prevent conception that is your idiot fault! Taking a pill to prevent a pregnancy does not cause guilt that's a total idiotic and I mean really idiotic idea. If you're bitten by a dog that has rabies you take the shot that keeps you from dying from rabies.

    If you're injected by a rapist it's the exact same thing as being attacked by a rabid dog! You take the medicine!
