A dazzling little boy boy who was adopted by a Tennessee couple last month revealed in a photo taken the same day the family was formed that he would be a big brother.
Jordan Dickerson, a pediatric nurse at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis, met four-year-old Jeremiah back in January 2017 when he was receiving medical assistance during his time wearing a tracheostomy tube.
The nurse instantly fell in love with the boy, who had been looking for a forever home.
Months later, Jordan and her husband Cole began background screening and foster care training in hopes of bringing him home.

The new mother spoke about the dream day in a series of social media posts this summer.
Precious photos taken outside a local courthouse after the adoption papers were signed show the trio sitting together on the steps.
Jordan wrote: ‘The day we’ve been waiting over a year for!! The court system finally caught up to what we already knew to be true…Jeremiah Evans Dickerson is officially ours!
‘We have dreamed, waited, and prayed for this day for such a long time. It was even better than I ever dreamed it would be.
‘I’m so thankful for our family, friends, and phenomenal support system throughout this entire journey. You all are irreplaceable in our book! Today we celebrate life and so much love for you, sweet boy!’
