Cole and Jordan Dickerson always dreamed of having a big, loving family. Adoption wasn’t just an idea for them—it was part of their plan from the start. But life often works on its own timeline, and when they first learned about a little boy in need, they had no idea how much their lives were about to change.
It all started when Jordan, who works at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, met a little boy named Jeremiah. He didn’t have a family to care for him, and it broke her heart. One day, she sent Cole a text: “Babe, will you seriously pray and think about something?” He knew right then that this wasn’t just any message—this was something that mattered deeply to her.
The couple had always felt passionate about adoption, so they decided to start the foster parent classes needed to bring Jeremiah home. But their journey was anything but smooth. At one point, another family began fostering Jeremiah, leaving Cole and Jordan heartbroken. Still, they kept going, believing that their dream of becoming his parents wasn’t over.
Then, just as they were celebrating their first wedding anniversary, Jordan got a call that changed everything. Jeremiah was back in the hospital, and the other family couldn’t continue fostering him. Tears streamed down their faces—they knew this was their second chance.
After months of paperwork, classes, and endless prayers, Cole and Jordan finally brought Jeremiah home in June 2017. By July 2018, they officially adopted him, giving Jeremiah the forever family he had always wanted. But their story didn’t end there—because fate had one more surprise in store.
Back in April 2018, something remarkable happened. One night during bedtime prayers, Jeremiah said, “Thank you, God, for my Mommy and Daddy and my baby sister in a couple of weeks. Amen.” Cole and Jordan exchanged amused glances. A baby sister? Where did that come from?
But just weeks later, they discovered Jeremiah was right—they were expecting! Fast forward to today, and Jeremiah’s prediction came true: they’re having a baby girl.
The Dickersons’ journey is nothing short of miraculous. From heartache to hope, their story is a testament to the power of faith, family, and persistence. On the same day Jeremiah officially became their son, he also found out he was going to be a big brother—a double dose of love for one very lucky little boy.
We wish this beautiful family all the joy in the world as they continue their incredible journey together. Don’t forget to share their heartwarming story with someone who could use a little inspiration today!
