OMG I can't bear to watch, I hate this who does this. Either adopt or don't but to send a child back to their country, who is gonna adopt him now?

He wasn’t sent back to China, his new home is in America with a mom who is a medical professional.

I mean I’ve obviously heard it is very difficult but I’ve never heard of someone giving their kid away because of it.

Many families who have children with severe autism have them in residential care.

I thought all the influencers lived for the mantra, “we can do hard things,” but apparently not.

No one ever said it was autism alone. And he has the most severe grade of autism.

And Radical Attachment Disorder. That alone is a huge challenge, coupled with all of the existing SNs. It's exceedingly hard to treat those needs when you can't even establish a bond.

ONG. Someone asked her what they would do if this was one of their bio kids.

She said “get them help and get their needs met.” Nothing about giving them away or sending them out if the house.

So giving up on them is only something you do with the adopted kid that’s not really yours. Got it.

She did get the kid help and get his needs met. She didn’t leave him at a fire station.

Part of the bond issue is the parents bonding to the kids. There is a huge push to make it about the kids bonding but if the parents don't bond it can cause attachment issues in the kids. She/they clearly didn't bond.

It doesn't matter what he had. You committed to this child, the signs were there with the first doctor and you choose to do it anyway. Would she walk away from a biological child with severe ASD?

No, she didn't get the kind of help he needed. And, rehoming is the equivalent to leaving at a fire station as most of those families don't have home studies or its a really shady adoption where they basically just hand over the child with no accountability/no social worker/agency involved.

And, that was an option she'd have but choose not to. Most kids only go to residential care as teens.

And, was there a home study done? Was there court approval? Was there any oversight? Just because a new parent has a medical background doesn't make them a good person or qualified. You are looking to justify her actions. It was no ok.

You do realize people like her are why many countries shut their doors to the US and other foreign countries adopting their kids. This is partly why the Hague was put in place to have some oversight on what is happening to these kids.

Who is defending this POS?

Look I’m sure there are sad situations out there but this is a family that monetized this poor child through public videos, photos, and hashtags for clicks and sponsorships then complained about how expensive his therapy is and what a drag it all is.

And now they’re dumping him!

Is defending Myka Stauffer really the hill you want to die on?

Sponsors don’t want hate clicks.

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.

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.

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.

It may not be "ok" but you do what you have to do to make it work. If I had to choose my husband over my child, which thankfully I don't, I would choose my child. What are you teaching your other kids? What are you teaching this child? What kind of person are you to make a commitment and not follow through?

If your child had severe SN, would you just throw up your hands and walk away so you can have a better and easier life or would you make it work? Once you adopt, this is your child.

I posted already that my family did adopt a child with SN. My sibling. Who lives with me now because our parents are no longer able to handle it. So don’t preach to me about sacrifice.

Exactly the point. Your parents nor you just gave up and walked away. You all made the best of a bad/difficult situation.

Yes so I can speak with authority when I say it is not my job to police how much sacrifice others need to make. Nor is it yours.

She's an influencer makes her money of YOUTUBE, sickening! IF all this was private and wasn't a whole online video process for the views! UGH disgusted

CLICKBATE headline for post when they discuss the return of their baby for views - who would do this! Is nothing sacred anymore!

Poor Huxley didn't fit that cute Asian kid adoption image!! 2 months ago he had a whole blog that made money, now he's been shipped off!!! Can't stand these fake instagrammers who make money from their kids!

^ Don’t forger they publicly raised the money for his adoption by begging her followers in the first place!

This has been a shit show from the beginning. Even cursory research would have shown them what a bad idea it is to have a baby right after adopting a child with attachment issues.

She knew he had “severe” SNs and chose to go ahead because they didn’t want to disappoint the followers.

They have no excuse.

I just looked at her latest Instagram post. Only fawning replies allowed. Click on “view more replies” and mysteriously 95% of them just aren’t there.
