Adoption agency reports dramatic increases in referrals
The Adoption Information Service of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services saw referrals to 14 cooperating agencies jump from 8 per month in early 1964 to 129 per month in October and November. The AIS aims to recruit homes for hard to place children, many Black or mixed race, and to encourage adoption by older childless couples.
