Back then everything was "open adoption". It has been a fight to make these differentiations in language. I would say we have only really seen these definitions of open, semi-open and closed in the past ten years. Grotevant and McRoy made huge strides with this through their research on openness.

All this said, it really womps that they did not forward your letters. That's just plain unethical.
