Well the story is that the new baby was an "accident"...sort of like they "accidentally" adopted a child with severe special needs.

I wouldn't be surprised if she were out getting fertility treatments as we speak.

Umm the new baby wasn’t an accident. She posted before getting pregnant that they were trying again. Don’t comment on sh*t you know nothing about.

Moving and having a new baby soon after adopting are big no no’s in that community.

The adoption agency should never have approved a new baby right after adoption. Most have rules against it or ask you to put your adoption on hold.

It doesn't work that way.

Some agencies have strict rules against it, others don't.

Lmao & what is an agency going to do if the mom gets pregnant again? Force her to abort? Like really?

No, agencies can have strict rules about what happens before finalization, which happens in China, but once the child is yours, then the same rules apply as to everyone else.

The child was born in 2019, and Huxley came home in 2017, so at that point, legally, Huxley was theirs.

She put tape on his thumb to stop him from sucking it which was recommended by a dr. YEARS ago (5+), i nannied for a 5 year old girl with autism and the therapist told the mom to do this as well.

ABA therapists are often abusive and tell parents things like that. It's your job to be educated when you choose medical providers for your child.

In this case, however, in the video mom says the recommendation was made by a dentist. Any adoptive parent who has done anything knows that attachment and self regulation are the most important pieces during those first months. Where were the post adoption professionals when she allowed that?

As a mom to an almost 3 year old who was just diagnosed w/ autism and SPD, this breaks my heart. To think that there are people out there who view her as worthless or discardable. I know the cards are stacked against her but this makes me so sad. It’s also ridiculous if you pull up any articles this woman wrote about how it’s not much work for his therapies, etc. Well I hope this evil woman is saving up all her ill gotten money to save for therapy for her remaining children.

Why is her Instagram page filled with pictures of Cillan Murphy?

They stop the adoption process and put the application on hold a year.

He'd been home a year when she got pregnant. You can't stop an adoption process and put it on hold when the child is home and finalized.

We did ABA. There was absolutely no abuse involved and the provider was sweet and lovely. It did nothing for my child but that's a different issue. There are abusive providers and therapists everywhere and its a parents job to monitor and find a good one.

No excuse for taping a child's hand.

Then there is your answer. She wanted more kids, probably thought she was done and when a biological child came along she got rid of this one. Simple.

I refuse to click on HER videos to find this stuff out. If you know for a fact that she planned to have another baby after she was well aware that she was feeling overwhelmed by her adopted child with special needs then you have just verified that she truly is a selfish ahole.

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.

Untrue. There is a tiny percentage of kids in residential care. They have to qualify for medicaid and impossible to care for at home. That is almost never a 4 year old. It is mostly big strong teenagers who can no longer be safely contained at home.

There really aren't many places in the entire country for children 8 and under. I have seen some incredibly violent 4 year olds in my classroom and there is nowhere for them to go and not much help available to them. It's heartbreaking.

Yes, there are but she could have gotten more supports in the home. Our insurance approved us for 40 hours a week of ABA, plus OT and ST. There are options out there. Thankfully we didn't need close to it but there is help to most depending on your insurance. Plus, the school system. She didn't put the effort into it.

Have kids been getting services during this Coronavirus stuff?

Some yes, some no, but mostly online. However, this has nothing to do with Coronavirus. She did not do enough for this child.

Oh, and she has gone on to complain about what a difficult baby little Onyx is, too. I wonder if the older ones will start to worry about the baby being "rehomed".
