It happens often when one sibling is disruptive. Allowing them to keep in touch often creates disruptions in the home of the sibling already adopted and can even disrupt the adoption placement. It's hard to understand but they often can have really disruptive influence over the other sibling. That's why often they have difficulties finding a home to adopt siblings together, especially if one or both have disruptive behaviors.
I couldn’t imagine being an adoptive parent KNOWING you are splitting apart siblings... I could never... there’s many single children that need adoption
How about a father who willing rejected one son, and kept the other son, because wife #3 didn't want the other one. That is what our son did. We are raising our grandson now, and they won't let us see the other one either.

I can't imagine his pain when he heard his brother was being adopted and they had to live apart. I know that it must be difficult to find a couple willing to take on 2 siblings but they do exist. To pull these two apart like puppies being picked from the litter is disgusting and disgraceful. He must have cried his eyes out knowing his brother got a Mom and Dad and he was left behind. Heartbreaking. I pray he finds someone who will love and care for him the way he deserves.

He just wants to know he's loved.
I thought most time they wouldn't split siblings. When I go looking to adopted dogs they call them a bonded pair and you have to adopt both. That should be the same for siblings who are close and want to be together.
Yes! At seven yrs old my husband's mother took his three sisters but left him to raise himself in a shed behind the house.

Yeah, but it sounds like Jordan has some serious issues. His brother's family was probably too afraid to take that all on, just like the two families that were actually chosen to adopt Jordan were. I'm glad his brother's family is willing to facilitate the boys spending time together via day passes though.
@Glory Be To God Amen What kind of god do u worship that would allow this child to be alone…while his younger brother gets adopted? Your god is cruel & seems to have “created” humans to play with them like toys because he was bored.
@@chasenip2 God's heart breaks for orphans. He did not create mankind to live lives where parents don't love and care for their children. Don't blame God for the poor choices people make. And as far as the brother's adoptive family not taking this dear boy, none of us know all the details. There actually could be issues that make it better to separate the boys. We truly don't know what the facts are with these brothers.
I cant believe people are willing to separate two little brothers from each other like this. That's horrible- they arent some dogs at the shelter to pick from, they're literally siblings! That poor boy ):
I felt terrible guilt taking my cat from her siblings when they were ready to be adopted. I can't imagine the guilt of separating two human siblings who will actually remember they have a sibling somewhere out there. 😭 Maybe we don't know the full story but it'd be nice to know why they weren't adopted together.
It depends on the circumstances and what’s happening between the boys. Many kids in care have hyper sexualised behaviour and they cannot be placed together if this is going on between them. It’s incredibly sad but unfortunately too common. It’s not the boys fault but they live the consequences
@@AFAskygoddess The issue is they are two children which are brothers and someone adopted only one because the other is special needs. I personally feel that it is not right and I couldn't do that. If I wasn't able to care for the child with more needs then I would move on and find a child where I wouldn't be separating siblings that have already had everything ripped from them. And yes, I absolutely do know what is intailed with caring for a child with special needs personally. I'm in no way blaming them for not being able to or wanting to only separating them as though your picking out a puppy. The little brother most likely will deal with horrific pain in his life over his brother not being chosen and the loss of his brother. You can disagree with 'My Opinion' but this is still America for the time being and we can have differing opinions.
@@britzel71 I felt your comment was not so much an opinion but a moral judgment. Please reread your original comment. The majority of people trying to place these children in forever families are doing the best they can in a broken system.
How could humans act this way ...they don't know the damage they have done to the other brother.....they could have just grant these brothers the chance to be together by even not adopting any of them ...now days people are so insensitive ...Sad world ,sad reality of it
I had many siblings, but the three youngest were us, were adopted out. Unfortunately at that time, the three of us were separated as well. I being the youngest and my sister a year older were never separated. My other sister only 3 year's older than me, went to another family. They didn't tell the families adopting us about the 3 of us. But we did, and my parents decided to track her down and move to the same town. We couldn't adopt her, but grew up blocks away, and our families became great friends. Plus, we are still in touch with our other siblings to this day.
Probably thought he was 'cuter' and that this was enough to break up a family. Then again it's easy for me to judge when I'm not planning on adopting any time soon. But I think it's almost worse to adopt one child when the siblings are close than to not adopt them at all. Maybe the children feel differently
I'm so grateful that you found a real family Jordan. I'm 44 now, but I spent 11 years in foster care and never got adopted, so I know how you feel not having a family. I feel that every time a child like yourself finds a family that loves and cares for them, that it was for the ones who never did. And that's enough for me. I love that you have a home and family now. Cherish them always Jordan.
It's sad that families turn down kids because they have trauma-related issues. It's difficult to go through CPS and Foster care without any residual trauma. I'm so glad this sweet boy got adopted
It's sad but also families shouldn't feel pressured to take kids they're uncomfortable dealing with. Disclosure is literally the thing that usually tells if the family is right for the kid. Unfortunately not every family is.
He should’ve never been separated from his brother. It should be the law that siblings stay together. That aside, I’m glad he’s now found a family who will give him all of the care, love & stability that he deserves 💙
No hate, but maybe the fam wanted to help . But can’t take in anymore kids. Because they have there own and I say that’s more than enough getting that one kid out foster care than not getting him.
So nice that his brother's adoptive parents are willing to let the boys have quality time together- if it works out. They should be forced to let this happen.
@Annie497 my 13 yr old niece has been in our family since she was born. She came straight from the hospital nursery into my sister's foster home and she was adopted at age 2. Her biological aunt only adopted her older sister. They see each other on occasion but it's always outside of the family reaching out to the other
This is another example of good use of media resources to support community members. Jordan you touched my Canadian heart and anyone worth God's Grace would be blessed to have a son like you. Love and Hugs.
Because they separated the the brothers taking away the only family he had left. Am I supposed to be happy that the state separated two brothers?! Now he might be able to visit his brother, but it's not the states place to take that from them in the first place. I've lived this shit, and lemme tell you, I would have taken my siblings over ANYONE especially strangers who forced them out of my life. Now I'm in my 30s, terrified to start my own family/relationship and have no one. Good thing the state shoved me with a family that really cared tho, right?
@Glory Be To God Amen yeah unless he was put in an environment like I was. You ppl have no idea, just spouting off your verses. Go live it, then we'll see how many god damned Bible verses you care about. I called out for gods help, I was innocent. If it IS part of some "grand plan" , then I have news for you, your god is evil. Shove it.
I am AMAZED that the foster system is still so poorly run. I am 83 years old , I was in the foster system when I was 18 months old until the age of 6. It's still a rotten program. The abuse and neglect is still Alll a child gets. The people who adopted the boy and basically just though his brother aside are more then likely involved in that system so have no true concern for the children. I feel the system should have stepped in and not allowed it. Shame on them all. Bunny (NAME given in a foster home. The only nice one out of 4) r
When they showed his brother that was adopted w/o his brother. I burst into tears. That poor little guy. Being a kid can be tough. This is a different tough.
Is he adopted yet, I already have have one adopted son an older child and it was the greatest thing I have ever done! Would love another son it’s a miracle
Ncooo , only if i was abroad ,i would have gave the little boy his wishes "A FAMILY".I am a black mother and living in south africa.wel at last he was granted that and i wish and pray that he wil be loved and GOD bless his new family.💕WITH LOVE FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
❤ I really hope that this is the family for him. Poor baby has been through enough trauma , it's time for love and happiness . Praying this family is patient with the process . Healing Hugs Jordan . ❤
I know a family that were about to adopt a child and had several kids already. Once they were told the issues with the child, they chose not to adopt because they had to think of their kids they had currently. I several foster families that the child was in, the child was hurting other kids and pets, in um... multiple gross ways and told doctors they "would never stop and are learning how to do it secretly and get the kids to stop telling on them"....... I wish it was just as easy to just scoop these kids up! I would adopt kids if it was easier but we do have *5 boys* already and we have to think of them first, but we are always open to adopting if that day comes. Or even to foster.
I agree, but on the other hand - say there were 8 siblings. If it was mandatory not to split them, how many families would come forward to take on such a large family. It's tricky to get this right, but those two boys shouldn't have been split.
I’m a little concerned for Jordan brother, I’m very disturbed by what his adoptive parents did and how cruel they behaved afterwards. I hope the foster system keeps tabs on Jordan little brother.
They won't but idk where you're getting that info from we barely discussed them in the video. Siblings are split up and adopted separately all the time. It's sad but it's common. Too few kids would get adopted if the foster system required every pair of siblings to go together. As much as I don't get only adopting one sibling I also don't do foster care or have I ever adopted. Jordan's brothers family did more for a kid then I did. At least they helped one kid
you’re the disturbing one. Lashing out at adoptive parents who are now the legal parents of the child. You’re not thinking straight. They are now a family and you’re insulting them shame on you.
@@serobinson1 It might not even be behaviour. I'm thinking it was what he and his brother endured. Behaviour is something told to potential parents before disclosure. Since it was only after disclosure I'm assuming something that happened to him turned ppl off. Some families aren't equip to deal with certain degrees of issues and disclosure can be incredibly disturbing. Sometimes it is worse for siblings to be together because they remind each other of the trama and it can ignite their behaviour. A lot of the time it is the discourse and not the behaviour that turn ppl off
@@finnsnow2495 I feel like when you are adopting kids with siblings, adopt their siblings aswell. If you can only afford one, then just adopt a kid who doesnt have siblings, would be better that way
I was an orphan finally my dad’s parents took me, but I never was truly wanted as their child. My entire life I knew one day I would be that mom to another kid that deserves a mom it doesn’t need to be physically born to me to love that child. I know it I have 4 kids and one day I know I’ll find a way financially to adopt a child that needs a mom and a family
Those two kids are absolutely adorable, how could they separate them? They should have stay together. Good thing they’re not on foster care anymore. I wish them a very happy life!
Oh God. I am sobbing my butt off now. So wonderful to cry good tears after all the heartache. God bless Jordan and his new fam! God bless all the people who got him here. Now for the next....!🙏😍🤗🌄🍀🧒🏼 I just adopted a doggy from Oklahoma. I'm in Illinois. Wish I could give a child a home too. Sick old gramma tho. Idk. Have to find someway to help from my room.
How beautiful. Sad they were separated. I could have never took one and left the other behind. Adopting one and separating them was another form of pain that was caused. I don’t understand how someone could do that. It’s so heartbreaking.❤️❤️ praying he will see his brother.
Hope they find 'safe' parents for him, and vet the prospective parents fully, too many adopted kids end up with horrible abusive parents. God Speed him a normal, safe couple who will love him unconditionally and let him see his siblings more often.
I love that we mandate that certain cats and dogs not be adopted separately but we dont even do it for our children. I hope Jordan and his brother will get to see each other a lot as they grow up
Sounds like this little guy is going to get his wish. My son has adopted two children. One with physical needs and both with learning needs. I understand that he needs a family that has enough love and understanding to help him through what he has had to endure. He already has a good start. People from all over the country wants a family for him just as bad as he wants one. I think his family will be the lucky ones.
Wow, sounds like you raised an awesome son. If I had remained single, I think I would have adopted some children. Both people have to want to do that though.
@@dewick134 He is! So is his wife. We believe God put us on earth to take care of each other. Every person feels good when we are able to do for another. Something as simple as holding a door does something to you. There are eight children total. They are some of the brightest and kindest people.
Good luck Jordan I pray you find a good and safe home people will give you lot's of tlc and lot's of caring ❤ God blessed you all thing's is possible with God stay strong 🙏
This is heartbreaking why he and his brother are separated..so so incredibly sad. Esp knowing how this is going to affect these kids as they get older but no one seems to be taking this into consideration..😢
Years ago when my kids were very young, I was talking to a social worker about becoming a foster family for a child that may have behavioral health issues. It was something I really wanted to do, and being home raising my kids at the time I knew I had the time to spend to be there all of the time. As we were discussing our options, I unfortunately became very sick with chronic health issues and in the hospital for over 6 mos initially, having multiple surgeries to save my life. Many years later (my kids are all teens now) I’m still dealing with these major health issues, and unfortunately have not had the time or space to be able to still foster anyone. I am still pretty young, 36, and have been working hard with my specialists and on immunosuppressive treatments for my ongoing chronic health problems, visiting nurses, etc. I still work hard towards getting my life back and healthier, stronger for as long as can at a time. I hope to one day be in remission for a long enough period to be able to again look into fostering/adopting children/teens who need a home and/or loving family, it is important I am stable long term before that would be an option, since I wouldn’t want to bring further trauma/ unstableness to their lives if I was to get sick again while anyone was with me. I just know that I have a lot of love and patience to give, and having to deal with juvenile detention/foster homes when I was a young teen myself, I have spoken extensively to many people about growing up in foster care, and seen the good and bad sides of this personally, I understand that believing in someone, giving/building trust, offering stability, having hope for their futures and building genuine love and connections with these kids is most important, wanting to still be there for them even when they push you away, it can be heartbreaking and frustrating, but so sry worth it. Everyone has a story and history if you take the time to talk to them honestly and learn where they’ve been, it can change yours and their lives for the better. Giving more chances when most people would’ve already given up is not an easy thing to ask, but when done is worth it. These kids have so much spirit, brains, humor, love to share, when given the opportunity. Also fostering and adoption is not just until these kids/young adults are 18, there are so many kids who age out of fostercare/adoption and have to start college/work/life with little to no support emotionally mentally financially. It’s heartbreaking some of the cases I’ve seen, and how many Ive spoken to who try so hard to be super helpful and take as little time/space as possible at a home hoping they won’t be a bother and be able to stay there for as long as possible, and afraid to open up or let out frustration in fear of being moved again (which when bottled up comes out in other ways, such as cutting, and other self harm and/or various mental and behavioral issues) Idk where I’m going with all of this, it’s pretty long already, and I wasn’t planning to share this much- I have in the past and plan to again volunteer helping some of these kids, tutoring, donating, resources, mentoring and in other ways. I just hope someone might read this who has been either in fostercare or has fostered/is currently or looking into fostering anyone in the future, and know they are very much needed and appreciated and worth so much more than they’ve been given, no matter what they’ve been through/are currently going through, no matter the trouble they’ve been in there is always hope. We need more good and caring people to foster and adopt, the amount of abuse that goes on is immense and immeasurable (sexual, physical, mental, emotional, etc) and if you can be a positive person in someone’s life, and help in any way that you can, it is very much needed and wanted. We are all worthy of love and having meaningful relationships of all types, and are all constantly growing and learning as people our whole lives, and there are many types of intelligence to offer yourself and someone else, including emotional. Please don’t ever feel like you aren’t adequate to receive love and friendship and family, no matter how much or little of it you’ve experienced, we can all benefit from learning and growing through new experiences and knowledge..
Poor little man has had a rough life already and then to be seperated from his brother was another blow. It would have been better if both boys were adopted together as they only had each other. Little man i hope and praye you find the family life you are seeking. Hugs and kisses from Australia
Unbelievable that family only adopted his brother. Wow, I could never just split brothers apart. If it was too much then let them be together to find a home together. Shocking and embarrassing
@@louvretreekay12_ yeah there could have been something disturbing about his behavior. They did say they had people interested but after disclosures it wasn’t a right fit.
@@VG-ej4ut not only that, sometimes adoptive parents are not handed all of the information sometimes they don’t control the situation the only thing they can do in the meanwhile is saving one life. I would like to see all of these know it all in the same situation.
I hope this family is perfect for this child. I hope this family loves him the way he dreams a family should. One day he will hopefully be with his sibling. That is my hope for him.❤
You can’t just give a kid to anyone. You can’t just let anyone assume responsibility of a child who requires more when they’re not ready or capable of it. Especially when it comes to Trauma and Mental Health stuff.
No... really... you want the appropriate family per individual child. He may have intellectual differences and often parents, regardless of adoptive or birth, if you’re uninformed, under educated, lacking patience, understanding, time, resources, these children suffer all the more. And they’re already at higher risks for depression, drug & alcohol abuse & suicide. The tragedy is is that we haven’t normalized anything outside of typically abled people, cater to primarily typically abled people & resources for divergent people are extremely difficult to find. Having a family that’s knowledgeable & has the capacity is the most important affecting thing.
Apparently Jordan has behavioral issues from trauma that not everyone is equipped to deal with. Finding someone capable of taking care of his special needs is priority one. And he's been placed and it sounds like he keeps in contact with his brother. All's well.

@@chasenip2 God's heart breaks for orphans. He did not create mankind to live lives where parents don't love and care for their children. Don't blame God for the poor choices people make. And as far as the brother's adoptive family not taking this dear boy, none of us know all the details. There actually could be issues that make it better to separate the boys. We truly don't know what the facts are with these brothers.
I cant believe people are willing to separate two little brothers from each other like this. That's horrible- they arent some dogs at the shelter to pick from, they're literally siblings! That poor boy ):
Hello
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
true 😢😢😢
I felt terrible guilt taking my cat from her siblings when they were ready to be adopted. I can't imagine the guilt of separating two human siblings who will actually remember they have a sibling somewhere out there. 😭 Maybe we don't know the full story but it'd be nice to know why they weren't adopted together.
It depends on the circumstances and what’s happening between the boys. Many kids in care have hyper sexualised behaviour and they cannot be placed together if this is going on between them. It’s incredibly sad but unfortunately too common. It’s not the boys fault but they live the consequences
So true they should have be been adopted as a pair because later on they're going to be difficult to find each other 😲😲😲😲😲😲
It makes me sick that siblings are split up.
he might have some special needs that some families aren't equipped to manage.
@Glory Be To God Amen stop spamming
It makes me sick too, but until you and I go out and adopt/open our homes to multiple siblings ourselves, we really have no place to judge.
I can't believe they had the heart to leave him and take them away from each other! You take the package or you don't damn it!
That's easy to type on RUclips. Have you adopted and special needs siblings? Just wondering.
@@AFAskygoddess The issue is they are two children which are brothers and someone adopted only one because the other is special needs. I personally feel that it is not right and I couldn't do that. If I wasn't able to care for the child with more needs then I would move on and find a child where I wouldn't be separating siblings that have already had everything ripped from them. And yes, I absolutely do know what is intailed with caring for a child with special needs personally. I'm in no way blaming them for not being able to or wanting to only separating them as though your picking out a puppy. The little brother most likely will deal with horrific pain in his life over his brother not being chosen and the loss of his brother. You can disagree with 'My Opinion' but this is still America for the time being and we can have differing opinions.
I couldn't do that when looking to adopt a dog and they are part of a bonded pair. Much less two brothers...
@@britzel71 I felt your comment was not so much an opinion but a moral judgment. Please reread your original comment. The majority of people trying to place these children in forever families are doing the best they can in a broken system.
How could humans act this way ...they don't know the damage they have done to the other brother.....they could have just grant these brothers the chance to be together by even not adopting any of them ...now days people are so insensitive ...Sad world ,sad reality of it
I do hope he has not been abused in foster care and found a non-abusive adoptive family. I wish him all the best.
I hope they follow up on him so he’s given the love he needs. He is so precious
The words “one of you all pick me” OMG, poor child, his pain
It is heartbreaking to see siblings be separated 🥺
I had many siblings, but the three youngest were us, were adopted out. Unfortunately at that time, the three of us were separated as well. I being the youngest and my sister a year older were never separated. My other sister only 3 year's older than me, went to another family. They didn't tell the families adopting us about the 3 of us. But we did, and my parents decided to track her down and move to the same town. We couldn't adopt her, but grew up blocks away, and our families became great friends. Plus, we are still in touch with our other siblings to this day.
This makes me question what kind of parents adopted his brother. I never would have been able to leave one behind.
Probably thought he was 'cuter' and that this was enough to break up a family. Then again it's easy for me to judge when I'm not planning on adopting any time soon. But I think it's almost worse to adopt one child when the siblings are close than to not adopt them at all. Maybe the children feel differently
Why would you question these generous people? I felt bad for Jordan, too, but he has a younger brother whose need for a permanent home must be met.
Jordan may have been too old for them
Really. It's a shitty human that splits up kids
@@smoothlyamusing15023exactly
I pray they let him visit with his brother often 😭🙏 and keep them safe lord please keep them safe 🙏🙏🙏
Yes! In Jesus name! Watch over Jordan's soul and keep him safe and protected 🙏
Amen
Amen🙏🙏
Well your god hasn’t done much a job for them this far has he
Perhaps we’d better pray for Swamp Ophelia as well ♥️
I'm so grateful that you found a real family Jordan. I'm 44 now, but I spent 11 years in foster care and never got adopted, so I know how you feel not having a family. I feel that every time a child like yourself finds a family that loves and cares for them, that it was for the ones who never did. And that's enough for me. I love that you have a home and family now. Cherish them always Jordan.
I hope the family is Close by so he never loses track of where his brother is
It's sad that families turn down kids because they have trauma-related issues. It's difficult to go through CPS and Foster care without any residual trauma. I'm so glad this sweet boy got adopted
Hello
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
It's sad but also families shouldn't feel pressured to take kids they're uncomfortable dealing with. Disclosure is literally the thing that usually tells if the family is right for the kid. Unfortunately not every family is.
Finn Snow Yeah, i think he may have special needs and if they cant deal with that properly it will just hurt the child
That's the system for you.
Can we just talk about how unbelievably adorable he is!!
Wise beyond his years.
He should’ve never been separated from his brother. It should be the law that siblings stay together. That aside, I’m glad he’s now found a family who will give him all of the care, love & stability that he deserves 💙
You all so judgemental in this comment section jfc
I think if they made that a law, hardly anyone will be adopted.
No hate, but maybe the fam wanted to help . But can’t take in anymore kids. Because they have there own and I say that’s more than enough getting that one kid out foster care than not getting him.
So nice that his brother's adoptive parents are willing to let the boys have quality time together- if it works out. They should be forced to let this happen.
@Annie497 my 13 yr old niece has been in our family since she was born. She came straight from the hospital nursery into my sister's foster home and she was adopted at age 2. Her biological aunt only adopted her older sister. They see each other on occasion but it's always outside of the family reaching out to the other
Precious precious boy . I hope he got the mama he deserves
Hello
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
A family for Jordan. I am so thrilled. I hope to see him and his family and I hope they are very happy. He is a lovely little boy
This is another example of good use of media resources to support community members. Jordan you touched my Canadian heart and anyone worth God's Grace would be blessed to have a son like you. Love and Hugs.
I hope it goes well for him and his new family, congratulations Jordan
@Glory Be To God Amen You really only have to post this once or twice. It's so redundant. Please stop.
Praise the Lord!!!! I'm so thrilled to hear he was adopted!
Hello Carrie
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
How could one person not like this. Shame on you.
Congratulations Mr.J😘
Because they separated the the brothers taking away the only family he had left. Am I supposed to be happy that the state separated two brothers?! Now he might be able to visit his brother, but it's not the states place to take that from them in the first place. I've lived this shit, and lemme tell you, I would have taken my siblings over ANYONE especially strangers who forced them out of my life. Now I'm in my 30s, terrified to start my own family/relationship and have no one. Good thing the state shoved me with a family that really cared tho, right?
@Glory Be To God Amen yeah unless he was put in an environment like I was. You ppl have no idea, just spouting off your verses. Go live it, then we'll see how many god damned Bible verses you care about. I called out for gods help, I was innocent. If it IS part of some "grand plan" , then I have news for you, your god is evil. Shove it.
I hope Jordan is happily and peacefully settled with a very loving family. He deserves a special Mom and Dad. He's so sweet.
@Glory Be To God Amen Amen!
This boy is so worthy and precious. And so very happy to hear of his forever home .❤❤❤
The viral story made me want to adopt him…
But I’m 27, single, in college, and wouldn’t be able to provide support he deserves 😢
I wish they wouldn't allow siblings to be separated, and I pray Jordan finds a permanent loving home.
I’ve been trying to keep up with this story I pray that that this sweet little angel finds a wonderful family . 🙏🏻❤️
Hello
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
Separating the boys is so heartbreaking. I can’t even imagine. I would never have done that. Either together or not at all.
I am AMAZED that the foster system is still so poorly run. I am 83 years old , I was in the foster system when I was 18 months old until the age of 6. It's still a rotten program. The abuse and neglect is still
Alll a child gets. The people who adopted the boy and basically just though his brother aside are more then likely involved in that system so have no true concern for the children. I feel the system should have stepped in and not allowed it. Shame on them all.

Thank God this little boy has a family who loves him and cherishes him forever. ❤
Sweet kid. So glad he has a family now. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻😘
Much respect to the families who reached out to adopt him... I hope they all picked other children who desperately need a family.
Love you, Jordan. Praying for your new happy forever family. 🙏🏻
God bless this little boy. He deserves a forever home.
Jordan will need alot of love and support to heal from being in the system and separated from his brother! I hope he gets it all and more!
I hope he finds a wonderful family that will love him unconditionally. He certainly deserves it!😊
Hello Julie

When they showed his brother that was adopted w/o his brother. I burst into tears. That poor little guy. Being a kid can be tough. This is a different tough.
My husband and I will adopt him. He is so precious!
Father remain with this boy; keeping him in your love restoring him to the Glory that can only happen in Your presence!
Oh you precious child...keep your heart open little one.

Those brothers are all each other has! They really should have been kept together.

Is he adopted yet, I already have have one adopted son an older child and it was the greatest thing I have ever done! Would love another son it’s a miracle
🎊💓🎈🎶 CONGRATULATIONS Jordan and with your new Family!!! Love and God Bless you always.
I hope he's found a fabulous family. My grandson looks just like him and would love to have a brother! God bless Jordan ❤
Ncooo , only if i was abroad ,i would have gave the little boy his wishes "A FAMILY".I am a black mother and living in south africa.wel at last he was granted that and i wish and pray that he wil be loved and GOD bless his new family.💕WITH LOVE FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
❤ I really hope that this is the family for him.
Poor baby has been through enough trauma , it's time for love and happiness . Praying this family is patient with the process . Healing Hugs Jordan . ❤
This story was a gut punch, thank you for sharing it and helping him!
Nice. Really, really nice. Hope it all works out well for Jordan and his new family.
I know a family that were about to adopt a child and had several kids already. Once they were told the issues with the child, they chose not to adopt because they had to think of their kids they had currently. I several foster families that the child was in, the child was hurting other kids and pets, in um... multiple gross ways and told doctors they "would never stop and are learning how to do it secretly and get the kids to stop telling on them".......
I wish it was just as easy to just scoop these kids up! I would adopt kids if it was easier but we do have *5 boys* already and we have to think of them first, but we are always open to adopting if that day comes. Or even to foster.
I hope he gets placed with a wonderful family. 👪
Congratulations Jordan ! I pray you will have a wonderful family. You are such a sweet, smart, and handsome boy. You deserve a wonderful life.
Jordan and his brother should have been adopted together. Why they did not make that mandatory makes me upset.
I agree, but on the other hand - say there were 8 siblings. If it was mandatory not to split them, how many families would come forward to take on such a large family. It's tricky to get this right, but those two boys shouldn't have been split.
I am SO GLAD that this little fella is looking like he might be adopted SOONER than later. :)
I cried for Jordan when I saw the first video. I am so glad Jordan got a new Mommy & Daddy.
Hello
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
Im so happy for him. He needs his brother in his life.
I’m a little concerned for Jordan brother, I’m very disturbed by what his adoptive parents did and how cruel they behaved afterwards. I hope the foster system keeps tabs on Jordan little brother.
They won't but idk where you're getting that info from we barely discussed them in the video. Siblings are split up and adopted separately all the time. It's sad but it's common. Too few kids would get adopted if the foster system required every pair of siblings to go together. As much as I don't get only adopting one sibling I also don't do foster care or have I ever adopted. Jordan's brothers family did more for a kid then I did. At least they helped one kid
you’re the disturbing one. Lashing out at adoptive parents who are now the legal parents of the child. You’re not thinking straight.
They are now a family and you’re insulting them shame on you.
It seems Jordan has serious behavior issues, and that can be hard with multiple children in the home .
@@serobinson1 It might not even be behaviour. I'm thinking it was what he and his brother endured. Behaviour is something told to potential parents before disclosure. Since it was only after disclosure I'm assuming something that happened to him turned ppl off. Some families aren't equip to deal with certain degrees of issues and disclosure can be incredibly disturbing. Sometimes it is worse for siblings to be together because they remind each other of the trama and it can ignite their behaviour. A lot of the time it is the discourse and not the behaviour that turn ppl off
@@finnsnow2495 I feel like when you are adopting kids with siblings, adopt their siblings aswell. If you can only afford one, then just adopt a kid who doesnt have siblings, would be better that way
God Bless Jordan. I hope the family that she said wanted him was able to adopt him. I pray Jordan is happy and safe in a forever home!
Prayers for Jordan 🙏🏼♥️
Hello Linda
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
I was an orphan finally my dad’s parents took me, but I never was truly wanted as their child. My entire life I knew one day I would be that mom to another kid that deserves a mom it doesn’t need to be physically born to me to love that child. I know it I have 4 kids and one day I know I’ll find a way financially to adopt a child that needs a mom and a family
Those two kids are absolutely adorable, how could they separate them? They should have stay together. Good thing they’re not on foster care anymore. I wish them a very happy life!
Now he has a great chance for loving home! He’s so sweet!🙏♥️✌️
Hello Patti

What an amazing series. This is why we should all be thankful for our local news 💕
Oh God. I am sobbing my butt off now. So wonderful to cry good tears after all the heartache. God bless Jordan and his new fam! God bless all the people who got him here. Now for the next....!🙏😍🤗🌄🍀🧒🏼 I just adopted a doggy from Oklahoma. I'm in Illinois. Wish I could give a child a home too. Sick old gramma tho. Idk. Have to find someway to help from my room.
Your prayers are more powerful than you know. Keep praying. You are doing a fine job. 🙂
Oh fabulous! I love him so much. I hope they treat him the best, he deserves it!❤
How beautiful. Sad they were separated. I could have never took one and left the other behind. Adopting one and separating them was another form of pain that was caused. I don’t understand how someone could do that. It’s so heartbreaking.❤️❤️ praying he will see his brother.

Hope they find 'safe' parents for him, and vet the prospective parents fully, too many adopted kids end up with horrible abusive parents. God Speed him a normal, safe couple who will love him unconditionally and let him see his siblings more often.

In the UK even bonded cats or dogs are not adopted out separately 😔

I am in tears of joy for Gordan. God bless him and his future Parents.
I love that we mandate that certain cats and dogs not be adopted separately but we dont even do it for our children. I hope Jordan and his brother will get to see each other a lot as they grow up
My same thought exactly.
Wishing him so much love, blessings and a wonderful life with his adoptive family
Sounds like this little guy is going to get his wish. My son has adopted two children. One with physical needs and both with learning needs. I understand that he needs a family that has enough love and understanding to help him through what he has had to endure. He already has a good start. People from all over the country wants a family for him just as bad as he wants one. I think his family will be the lucky ones.
Wow, sounds like you raised an awesome son. If I had remained single, I think I would have adopted some children. Both people have to want to do that though.
@@dewick134 He is! So is his wife. We believe God put us on earth to take care of each other. Every person feels good when we are able to do for another. Something as simple as holding a door does something to you. There are eight children total. They are some of the brightest and kindest people.
Can't imagine being separated from my brothers & sisters. Wishing the best for this fragile heart.💜
Good luck Jordan I pray you find a good and safe home people will give you lot's of tlc and lot's of caring ❤ God blessed you all thing's is possible with God stay strong 🙏
I hope & pray he has a good loving home & is well cared for
This is great news. They need to show all the other kids, and give them to loving families!
I hope the family who adopted him wer good and considerate and full of love and patience in their soul..
Thank goodness 💗
God thank you for providing a good home and love for this child so that he may grow whole and not broken. Amen
This is heartbreaking why he and his brother are separated..so so incredibly sad. Esp knowing how this is going to affect these kids as they get older but no one seems to be taking this into consideration..😢
Hello
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
What a great thing you all are doing bringing exposure to these kids who need homes.
Hello Tamara
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
Years ago when my kids were very young, I was talking to a social worker about becoming a foster family for a child that may have behavioral health issues. It was something I really wanted to do, and being home raising my kids at the time I knew I had the time to spend to be there all of the time.
As we were discussing our options, I unfortunately became very sick with chronic health issues and in the hospital for over 6 mos initially, having multiple surgeries to save my life. Many years later (my kids are all teens now) I’m still dealing with these major health issues, and unfortunately have not had the time or space to be able to still foster anyone. I am still pretty young, 36, and have been working hard with my specialists and on immunosuppressive treatments for my ongoing chronic health problems, visiting nurses, etc. I still work hard towards getting my life back and healthier, stronger for as long as can at a time.
I hope to one day be in remission for a long enough period to be able to again look into fostering/adopting children/teens who need a home and/or loving family, it is important I am stable long term before that would be an option, since I wouldn’t want to bring further trauma/ unstableness to their lives if I was to get sick again while anyone was with me. I just know that I have a lot of love and patience to give, and having to deal with juvenile detention/foster homes when I was a young teen myself, I have spoken extensively to many people about growing up in foster care, and seen the good and bad sides of this personally, I understand that believing in someone, giving/building trust, offering stability, having hope for their futures and building genuine love and connections with these kids is most important, wanting to still be there for them even when they push you away, it can be heartbreaking and frustrating, but so sry worth it. Everyone has a story and history if you take the time to talk to them honestly and learn where they’ve been, it can change yours and their lives for the better. Giving more chances when most people would’ve already given up is not an easy thing to ask, but when done is worth it. These kids have so much spirit, brains, humor, love to share, when given the opportunity. Also fostering and adoption is not just until these kids/young adults are 18, there are so many kids who age out of fostercare/adoption and have to start college/work/life with little to no support emotionally mentally financially. It’s heartbreaking some of the cases I’ve seen, and how many Ive spoken to who try so hard to be super helpful and take as little time/space as possible at a home hoping they won’t be a bother and be able to stay there for as long as possible, and afraid to open up or let out frustration in fear of being moved again (which when bottled up comes out in other ways, such as cutting, and other self harm and/or various mental and behavioral issues)
Idk where I’m going with all of this, it’s pretty long already, and I wasn’t planning to share this much-
I have in the past and plan to again volunteer helping some of these kids, tutoring, donating, resources, mentoring and in other ways.
I just hope someone might read this who has been either in fostercare or has fostered/is currently or looking into fostering anyone in the future, and know they are very much needed and appreciated and worth so much more than they’ve been given, no matter what they’ve been through/are currently going through, no matter the trouble they’ve been in there is always hope. We need more good and caring people to foster and adopt, the amount of abuse that goes on is immense and immeasurable (sexual, physical, mental, emotional, etc) and if you can be a positive person in someone’s life, and help in any way that you can, it is very much needed and wanted. We are all worthy of love and having meaningful relationships of all types, and are all constantly growing and learning as people our whole lives, and there are many types of intelligence to offer yourself and someone else, including emotional. Please don’t ever feel like you aren’t adequate to receive love and friendship and family, no matter how much or little of it you’ve experienced, we can all benefit from learning and growing through new experiences and knowledge..
Poor little man has had a rough life already and then to be seperated from his brother was another blow. It would have been better if both boys were adopted together as they only had each other. Little man i hope and praye you find the family life you are seeking. Hugs and kisses from Australia
If everyone who applied for Jordan also looked into adopting a different kid, that would be 5000 kids adopted out of the system.
Jordan, you are so special! Please don't ever forget that, YOU ARE SPECIAL!
Unbelievable that family only adopted his brother. Wow, I could never just split brothers apart. If it was too much then let them be together to find a home together. Shocking and embarrassing
do you know why they were separated? Stop spreading hate about people you don’t know.
@@louvretreekay12_ yeah there could have been something disturbing about his behavior. They did say they had people interested but after disclosures it wasn’t a right fit.
@@VG-ej4ut not only that, sometimes adoptive parents are not handed all of the information sometimes they don’t control the situation the only thing they can do in the meanwhile is saving one life.
I would like to see all of these know it all in the same situation.
I hope this family is perfect for this child. I hope this family loves him the way he dreams a family should. One day he will hopefully be with his sibling. That is my hope for him.❤
Pray that he and his family get the healing they need as well as stability in Jesus Name....
So happy for you sweetheart... have a wonderful life...
The RIGHT FIT???? HE IS NOT A PAIR OF PANTS?????? Will he be able to see his little brother???? THEY SHOULD HAVE ADOPTED BOTH, THE JERKS!!!!
You can’t just give a kid to anyone. You can’t just let anyone assume responsibility of a child who requires more when they’re not ready or capable of it. Especially when it comes to Trauma and Mental Health stuff.
No... really... you want the appropriate family per individual child. He may have intellectual differences and often parents, regardless of adoptive or birth, if you’re uninformed, under educated, lacking patience, understanding, time, resources, these children suffer all the more. And they’re already at higher risks for depression, drug & alcohol abuse & suicide. The tragedy is is that we haven’t normalized anything outside of typically abled people, cater to primarily typically abled people & resources for divergent people are extremely difficult to find. Having a family that’s knowledgeable & has the capacity is the most important affecting thing.
No, the right fit is very important. It's better to find the right family than to have the adoption fail and he has another major loss again.
Apparently Jordan has behavioral issues from trauma that not everyone is equipped to deal with. Finding someone capable of taking care of his special needs is priority one. And he's been placed and it sounds like he keeps in contact with his brother. All's well.
I'm so happy Jordan found a family.
