Why are you allowed to do this with adopted children? They're piling trauma on top of trauma on that little boy.

How many homes has he been in? In a prior video, they mention that he was in a foster home in China so that's two (give up by his birth parents, Chinese foster parent, then their house, then a few other houses, and now his "forever" family? Until they get sick of him??)

People do place their biological kids with disabilities for adoption. It is definitely something that's allowed.

As a parent of a child with severe special needs, I have to disagree with the idea that many parents' lives are "basically ruined".

What? No. This is not a thing people are just allowed to do. When you have a bio kid with SN, if your life is "ruined", too bad so sad in our society.

Legally, yes. a parent is able to place their biological or adopted child at any age with another person or person via private adoption provided the adopting person(s) have met all the legal requirements of the state(s).

There are plenty of special needs kids in foster care, too. I don't know if the biological parents are still responsible for supporting the child or how that works.

They did not re-home Huxley like an unwanted pet.

I’m not going to put her personal info on here but this wasn’t a decision that they came to overnight. This decision to send him to a family who has experience with his extreme mental health and special needs was recommended by multiple health professionals. It was over 6 months of them trying to figure out the best way to help me. A lot went on behind the scenes with Huxleys needs and for the safety of him and the other kids, this was the best option.

Some of you are truly disgusting. Unless you were in her shoes yourself, you have no clue what her and her family went through. Hux was and is beyond loved and was cared for wonderfully by them.

Myka you're a POS. The only truly disgusting people is you and your pathetic husband.

+1. There is NO WAY a child THAT young cannot be cared for by regular parents with the help of professional therapists.

The parents must be deleting negative comments from their social media like crazy.

I’m the PP. 1) I’m not Myka but think what you want. 2) They went to MULTIPLE therapists, health professionals, drs, etc. to diagnose him and get help. Things got bad over the last 6 months with him and huge safety issues arose. Again, I’m not putting her personal family stuff out there but for safety reasons regarding hux and the other kids, this was the best course of action. His special needs were way way way beyond what anyone thought.

This. It’s easy to be an internet troll/bully and judge and make nasty comments when you aren’t in the situation. Nobody knows what this family went through or the reality behind Huxleys medical issues and the amount of time and money spent trying to get him help.

Those multiple health professionals were wise to recommend getting him into the care of a different family. What does it take to fail so miserably as a parent that professionals recommend that you give up your child?

Hmm... how about when safety is involved for both the child and the other children? Or how him remaining in the home would not make things better for him or help him? He needed to be in a home where he could get 1 on 1 attention and they have 3 other kids in the home.

What are the credentials of these so called medical professionals who apparently advised them to give their adopted son back to be rehomed with another family? It's not like they sent him to a treatment facility. He's with another family.

I have a teenager who has had severe behavioral problems since infancy (ASD & ADHD). Since K, he has been in various special education settings & inpatient/outpatient therapies with similar children. I have known dozens of struggling families. I feel confident in my expertise on this topic.

They seem pretty well-off. They could hire help. Put the other kids in daycare/preschool, take time off work (do they work?), etc. That's what you do when you have a child with severe special needs. The whole family suffers, sometimes for the rest of your life.

lmao caps lock isn’t helping you sweetie. You do not know this family or that child or the other children. You don’t know everything that went on in their home, doctors appts, therapists appts, etc. Was it better to send the child to a special place for children with his level of special needs OR to a new loving home? Think about that. They did everything they could for him. Drs didn’t recommend he go to a new home because they were crappy parents. This DIFFICULT decision was made due to safety concerns (not abuse or anything to do with the family) and him needing different care that goes way beyond what this family could offer him.

Well, I guess they’re lucky that they didn’t have to face a similar diagnosis with one of their biological children. Less socially acceptable to give them away.

Did you think I was joking about the health professionals being right to advise them to give the child to better parents? I wasn’t.

Again, there is NO safety issue presented by a four year old that can't be solved by close adult supervision at all times.
