Hi Melissa.
I placed my child in a closed adoption through the CAS in Ontario. I was able to choose the family through anonymous profiles with no contact.
The change in Canadian law means that your child can access their original birth certificate when he reaches 18 and can learn your name at that time. You can request a 'no contact' order which means that even though they know your name, they agree to not contact you.
Never say never, who knows how you'll feel in 20 years, and like someone else said I too believe that an adoptee has the right to have their questions answered. But as for anonymity in the meantime, I'd contact the CAS.
Hang in there.
