A 9-year-old boy in Oklahoma was recently interviewed by an Oklahoma television station, in which he delivered a heart-wrenching plea to be adopted. He expressed the pain of not having a family that only children in the foster system would know.The young boy, Jordan, has been in foster care for six years. That’s way too long for anyone let alone when it has been the majority of Jordan’s life!
My heart breaks for Jordan, no child deserves a life deprived of family… Except something incredible happened. Jordan’s interview went viral and changed his life! His words were so authentic and heartwrenching, they reached the hearts of thousands, many of whom immediately sprang into action! When asked where he would go if he could go anywhere he wanted in the entire world, he answered “To an adoption party for a home.”
“I would just like to have a family to call mom and dad or just mom or just dad. I don’t really care. […] The reason it’s important is because “so I could have some people to talk to anytime I need to. “I hope one of y’all pick me.”But only half a day after the interview aired, thousands of people called in looking to adopt Jordan! His greatest wishes were answered. Literally! When asked what he would wish for with three wishes, Jordan simply answered:“To have a family, and family, family. Those are the only wishes I have.”
