‘I hope one of y’all pick me’: Nine-year-old boy wants a place to call home

After strapping on some rollerblades, it didn't take nine-year-old Jordan long to show off his skills.

Who only adopts one of the siblings and separates them? That's horrific.

It should be illegal to adopt a kid without their sibling, that's terrible.

“I want a mom and dad.. or just a mom. Or just a dad. I don’t really care.” 😭😭😭

[archiemustachie]

It shouldn't be allowed to separate siblings in adoptions

[BNicoleBeats]

Why would they only take his little brother!? That's the heartbreaking part.

How could you separate 2 little brothers? God bless this young boy to grow up sound, intelligent and kind and he and his brother reunite.

I still don’t understand why they separate siblings. That family should of adopted both brothers and not picked their “ favourite one”. I can’t imagine what that does to a kid.

[dawnd.]

I hate when people separate siblings. That's just another level of trauma.

Luckily, this story has a happy ending! Jordan was adopted last August.

One day this child will read these comments as a man and I hope he sees we love him.

I can't wrap my head around the act of splitting siblings just because you want to adopt one of them... That's not love. It's selfish of anyone to do that.

💞 UPDATE: Within days of this segment airing in Aug 2020 and went viral across the USA, OK DHS received 10, 000 inquiries (5, 000 w/in the first 12 hours) from ppl asking how they could adopt the adorable, sweet Jordan. It looks like he’s been adopted (or in the process of it as of the last reporting I saw from Jan 2021) and the family said they will ensure the Jordan & Braison reconnect and rebuild their bond. 💞

Imagine being seven and having only your brother in the whole world and then one day your brother goes away and you are left behind. That's messed up, people who let this happen, how do you go to sleep at night!

This little boy must have cried his heart out when the family adopted his brother and left him alone. His brother is the only family he has! So cruel. 😢

[cakeequinoxgaming]

“Mom and dad or just mom or just dad” literally on the verge of just breaking down he’s so wholesome and deserves a family rn

[kaedasonata]

Siblings should be adopted as a pair, and we as adults should oblige those kids. Siblings should always stay together and go to good homes. Much love to these two adorable, sweet little boys <33

[ameliaazuaje]

I can not deal with a system that allows siblings to be separate and an adoptive parents to do something like that. So sad for those kids. Not fair at all💔

[ingridmulder]

I never understand why people want to break up sibling groups. Adopt them all. It's so important for these kids to stay together.

[allisonficsor]

I don’t know how I feel about separating siblings. In situations like this they’ve only had each other. How heartbreaking.

[masonhoward]

Damn that kid is adorable. How could they not take him as well. What the fuck.
