In case anyone wants to look the website. It's the Adoption History Project. It has detailed information on the culture of adoption. They even have info on the Orphan trains.

The practice of remaining low key recruiting AA families has not changed either.
"We have done no recruitment of applicants, beyond utilizing the excellent cooperation offered by the mass media. We have actually found it necessary to low-key our publicity, to avoid becoming overwhelmed with applicants. Long waiting lists must be avoided as a quick response is essential. We believe we could recruit enough black families in the Detroit area to keep 20 social workers busy."
