Question for Bmoms in closed adoptions...

I am wondering if those of you that relinquished a child during the "closed adoption era", if things had been different then and the agencies told you the adoptee's original birth certificate would be released to the adoptee at 18 or 21 with your name on it, if that would have altered your decision in any way?

Would knowing your child would have access to your name (unless you filed to NOT have it released) when they reached adulthood have changed your decision? Is anonymity a large factor in the decision?
