if her sibling is your daughter, then she is eternally tied to you as well. Treat her as your own, but don't ever hide the truth from her. If you are open about it from the start, there will never be any issues of trust between the two of you. My uncle adopted, and although he told us to avoid the subject when possible, he was very open with his son (who has no problems with the fact that he is adopted, now 16).
One of my brothers adopted his wife's first child, and even though the real father has very very limited visitation (by the mother's grace only), the child knows who really loves and cares for him.
Just my opinion.
