Sorry is I repeat something that has been said already, I just saw this thread and stopped reading when I got to this post.
I would like to address your last point. First I was raised UPC, was in ministry for over 25 years, raised 4 children that all have a close relationship with God today. That being said, when my youngest was in high school, her best friend invited her to a youth function at her church, Assembly of God. I explained the difference between the teaching of the trinity and oneness and let her go. As my wife and I had just cut ties at that time with UPC and were conducting our own services in starting a church of our own, we were pretty much where you are now.
To make a long story short, my wife and I began to attend this church, and the difference between the trinity and oneness never became an issue.
The point is your child will not become confused if teach him/her at home and don't judge those that do not understand the Godhead as you.
Most trinitarian churches hardly ever if not never teach on the subject of the trinity in the first place.
