Yikes. Looks like she was cautioned by a doctor not to adopt the kid but then found another doctor who told her what she wanted to hear.

Who is hate clicking? I read through her YouTube comments and 95% are loving and nice comments.

They must be doing some heavy deleting. If I wasn't worried for the innocent children still with her I might be tempted to post some harsh words, myself.

Yup because posting “harsh words” is the right thing to do

You’re not the brightest bulb, are you?

So... this is consistent with the ultimate outcome, that the child was not ever a fit for the Stauffer home. Okay? Yeah they messed up in adopting but this seems to contradict the claim that there’s no way this match could have been unworkable.

They did it for the YouTube content. Unfortunately for them, Huxley doesn’t fit into their easy breezy lux lifestyle so they gave him away like a bad puppy.

Do you know this for a FACT? Do you know them personally and they told you this? Because otherwise you sound idiotic. How do you know they adopted purely for YouTube content? You aren’t really this stupid, right?

I can infer this from watching the videos she made of him for public consumption and even the hashtags she puts on every Instagram post #adoptdontshop is a hashtag she actually used.

Who uses a child to make money this way. It’s so gross.

Wow.

That video did not age well.

She puts it all out there and expects no criticism for her abhorrent choices? I hope they are not permitted to adopt again. They should probably stop reproducing too.

What's stopping them from adopting again? And agency may say no but plenty will take their money and not think twice.

She asked for donations? To pay for the adoption?

Wtf are you even talking about? Why would you be worried about her children? They don’t abuse their kids. This is as simple as an extremely special needs child, needing a better fit.


“After multiple assessments, after multiple evaluations, numerous medical professionals have felt that he needed a different fit and that with his medical needs, he needed more.”

You realize that is code for they were not willing to put in the effort for this kid and get him the therapies and change their lifestyle like most good parents would, it was easier to get rid of him using the fancy term rehoming. Look at the code - multiple assessments and evaluations. No discussion about therapies, changing their routine or lifestyle, etc. They wanted a perfect child to fit into their world they could use to make money and when he didn't fit that mold and was not an easy fix they got rid of him.

Many families have kids with lots of SN, more than he does and they do what they need to do to make it work.

I just watched a video in which Myka first complained about how expensive his therapies were then explained that they were switching to a cheaper therapist.

This while wearing a Cartier bracelet.

They live in a million dollar house. They could have made it work, they just chose not to.

Many families with kids with lots of SN sacrifice everything, including their marriage and the well-being of their other kids, to try to make this impossible situation work. Let’s not pretend that with enough grit and determination you can make everything okay no matter how profound the SN. I

It was an awful choice for them to go through with this adoption, but I do give them some credit if they felt they truly could not serve his needs, IF they actually found a better setting for him.

They have the money for the things important to them. They didn't want to make it work. Therapies through some school systems are free. If he has ASD, many are covered with a small co-pay through insurance if you can find a provider to take your insurance. They could also apply for SSDI and get him covered under medicare if approved. There are some waivers, like in DC for medicaid. Some universities have cheaper therapy programs that are good.

We live in a really crappy house to be able to afford all the therapies and supports. We made it our priority as getting help early on is the most beneficial to kids. The longer you wait, the harder it is.

They should have sold the house and got something half the price. Sell your jewelry and everything else. Your child's needs come first. I would have done anything including multiple jobs to make sure my child got what they needed (thankfully we could make it work).
