Little Jordan from Oklahoma is 9 years old, and has a younger brother named Braison who has had a luckier fate than his; in fact, despite Jordan having lived all his life waiting to be adopted, Braison was instead welcomed by a loving family.

But after the heartfelt appeal on TV, things seem to be getting better for Jordan: in just a few hours, families from New Jersey, Florida, Illinois and Kentucky contacted the broadcaster, expressing their desire to be able to finally adopt Jordan and give him the home he has always dreamed of. From then on over 5,000 proposals for Jordan's adoption rained down in less than 12 hours!
