Julie,
Hopefully, if you look your husband directly in the eye and ask him how he plans to tell his daughter about this, he will stop and think about how she may view this in 18 years.
"Yes dear, we had a fully open adoption with your birthfamily, but I wanted to close it once you turned a year old. Um, why you ask? I thought you might be confused and not know who your parents are."
Trust me, there will be no explaination that will satisfy a teenage girl. Perhaps that will be enough to convince him not to close the adoption. If not, remind him that family medical history changes as the members grow older. Knowing what to look out for as your daughter grows will ease your mind.
Good luck.
Peggy
