Tous les enfants souhaitent avoir un endroit sûr et affectueux qu'ils peuvent appeler leur maison. Jordan, neuf ans, originaire de l'Oklahoma, n'a pas eu le meilleur départ dans la vie. Après avoir vécu en famille d'accueil pendant les six dernières années, il a été interviewé à la télévision la semaine dernière sur ses aspirations. Il ne s'attendait pas à ce qu'après la diffusion de la vidéo, des milliers de demandes d'adoption affluent.

When Jordan was asked if he had three wishes what would he choose, there was only one thing he would wish for: a family. If he could go anywhere in the world, he told the reporter he would go to his "adoption party." From his answers, it is clear the little boy is yearning to find a forever home.

According to the Mirror, Christopher Marlowe, who is tasked with reviewing the profiles of potential parents said that Jordan has "been through a whole lot compared to most of our kids," but he's "really excited about this and very hopeful this is going to be the breakthrough needed to find this kid a home."

After the interview went viral more than 5,000 people contacted the center to ask about adopting him, reports the Mirror. The number of inquiries was unprecedented – so much so that DHS official Casey White confirmed the department had to introduce an overtime schedule to manage the influx of calls.

Jordan, who wants to be a police officer when he's older, told KFOR he is hoping for a "mom and dad. Or just a mom. Or just a dad – I don’t really care." He stated what he wants most is just "some people to talk to anytime I need to. I hope one of y’all pick me."

Jordan and his brother Braison came into the care of Oklahoma's Department of Human Services in 2014, but his little brother has already been adopted. Jordan would like to stay in Oklahoma so that he can be close to him, reports the Mirror. When asked in an interview what he would wish for if he were to be given three wishes, Jordan replied, "Family, family. Those are the only wishes I have."

We hope that Jordan finds the right forever home and that his wish finally comes true. Share this story with anyone who needs some hopeful news today.
