I can see possibly including him as adopted but I agree with you that
you should not be party to a lie. Does he have children ? If so do
they know ?  If not I would simply exclude him altogether.

Every genealogy is different. It depends on what your purpose is. In
my case if they carry my surname I track them whether adopted, out of
wedlock, or changeling. And in the two known cases where a males
surname was changed we noted the change and stopped right there.
YMMV/
