Until I read that paragraph, I was with those who asked "why don't you want her to know your number?".
But, from that paragraph, it sounds like there may be legitimate concerns.
I'm actually surprised by how negative some of the responses were. I agree that, in most situations, openness is the best. But some people (both birth- and adoptive-parents) need time to be comfortable with that.
Overall, I'd say that giving her a real phone number wouldn't bother me, based on what you've said.
