The answer

The child born of adultery is not attributed to the adulterer, but rather to its mother and inherits from her. Therefore, the daughter born of adultery is not a relative of your wife, nor is she a forbidden relative (mahram) to your son, and she is treated like any foreign woman upon reaching maturity.
