Y’all remember “James and Myka Stauffer” the youtube family who adopt a boy (Huxley) from china. then…when things got “hard” they placed him with a different family??
Well, we got an update on the situation.
And this is again another reason why family vloggers shouldn’t be allowed on social media.
They documented and uploaded this child’s whole adoption process (something private and personal in my opinion) and it blew this family up and put them on the map on YouTube. Then suddenly they shopped showing him.
His disability (Autism) became too much…so they re-homed this sweet little boy

My thing is—a lot of people deal with children with disabilities. A lot of family have child who DONT have disabilities but other hard mountains to climb with that child.
Raising children, regardless of disabilities, is hard. Being a parent is not for the weak.
And adopting a child (internationally or domestically) can come with lot and lot of challenges on its own. You don’t know what that child might have seen or was subjected to. You just have to work with what you get…just like having biological children.
If I remember correctly they knew he had autism before adoption too
They became very wealthy of the back of a little disabled child and I'll never forget it
Disrupted adoption happens about 20% of the time
People re home adopted kids on Facebook like pets

I literally thought about them a couple days ago 🥴 I used to watch them all the time and that blew my mind. My sister and I were talking about it when everything started going down with the readoption my mom overheard and said our pastor had done the same with one of the little girls they adopted. They adopted two sisters and a brother and a few years later decided the youngest “wasn’t a good fit”. I couldn’t imagine telling a child I was their forever parent then just shipping them to someone else because things get hard
