No formal adoption, possibly at KY Children's Home in Louisville, KY

Can anyone give me any ideas where to go from here. I wrote to Frankfort, KY. I received a letter back stating they could not find an adoption record for my grandmother. She was born June 22, 1928. Evidently, there was no formal adoption. I don't have much to go on. My grandmother's adopted mother, Delia (Reynolds) Walker told her once that she came from a Christian Children's Home in Louisville, KY. The Walkers lived in Nicholasville, Jessamine County, Kentucky all their lives. My grandmother's name is Wavyleen. Family members were asked about where Wavyleen came from and nobody seems to know. One of Wavyleen's aunts told her that the Walkers were gone all day when they went to get her. Elick Walker's sister told Wavyleen's sister-in-law once that her mother's name was Mattie Sparks. Elick and Delia Walker took the secret to their graves with them. There may have been a reason why they didn't want to talk about it. If anyone can give me direction, I would be very thankful. I sure would like to know where I come from.

Thanks in advance.
