I know this is easier to say then do but casually bring up to your family -- will you be willing to accept the situation if hes the one that makes me truly happy. Also consider if you are in love with him. If you really are then hopefully you two being happy together and in love your family will accept - they might be stubborn at first - your decision. Im sure he's feeling torn between wanting you and loving you and knowing that another person he loves - his kid and dealing with that factor. You need to do what makes you happy - otherwise you will spend forever waiting for it to come along and being stuck in limbo waiting for life to happen will never satisfy you.
