A lot of moms complain when they have difficult babies....

A lot of moms don’t give their kids away....

He was not a baby. Most moms complain, but you don't complain on video/online where the child and your other kids and their friends and families can hear it all. Imagine what that would do to a child. This kid will go online one day and read all about this. Imagine how that will impact him after all the trauma he's had.

I’m sorry but no, he won’t go online one day and read all this. He has severe special needs and can’t even talk. He will never go and read about himself online.

He may be more there than people realize.

Ehhh, I don’t think so unfortunately. Never heard him talk in any videos on YouTube or IG. He’s four but seems to have the mindset of a 1 year old. I just don’t ever see him being a “normal kid”.

I know several kids including mine who did not talk till after four.

Did they have strokes in the womb and neuro specialists looking at their brain scans advising they would never take this on themselves and that issues would likely be lifelong? Because this child had that. Doesn't justify the parent's actions, but when you have specialists looking at neurological activity and saying, "I wouldn't..." that doesn't bode well normally.

What doctor is going to blab out to the parent of a child that they should give the child away rather than treat the child? It's not even a believable statement, it sounds like an excuse to support their choice to giving him away.

Are you asking me (the teacher) or the parent?

Some of them had significant neurological differences, and they absolutely had lifelong neurological differences, including perinatal stroke, and other neurological issues. I had a kid who had half her brain removed due to Sturge Weber. She could read when she left my class. I teach kids with significant disabilities who are not earning a high school diploma. Kids with significant disabilities can learn to read and google things.

A doctor may say residential care but the only time they would say give up custody of the child if there is absolutely no way the parents could pay for care and insurance will not cover it. On a rare occasion those kids are given to child welfare so they can get medicaid and other benefits.

I saw a screenshot of her comment to someone on the YouTube video. Apparently he was being extremely violent towards the other kids as well as some other huge issues. She said if it was one of her biological children, she’d have taken the same route and gotten professional opinions as to what would be the best way to handle them.

So idk, sounds to me like there were dangerous situations happening. They have a young baby in the house as well. If medical professionals told them that he’d be better in a home without other kids and one on one attention, I can’t fault her for that.

Maybe he was, but she would not have given her child away in a rehoming situation and not gotten that child help. Depending on her insurance, they will pay up to 40 hours a week of ABA, OT, PT and ST plus the school system probably offered help too. I cannot believe a medical professional would say rehome him. They may say hand him over to child welfare but not rehome him.

The kid isn’t a dog. Stop saying “rehoming him”, it sounds so ignorant.

Not giving away a child, but that this was well known prior to adoption and the adoptive parents accepted this risk, against medical advice. And here they are...

What?? You have that trust in "the system?" Not a fan of off the books adoptions at all, but for a high needs kid "child welfare" is hardly a panacea. Think 10+ foster homes and abuse until he ages out. And then what? A non-verbal adult panhandling on the street? These are not simple questions and there are not simple answers.

Huh? They’ve said a million times how the adoption agency/care he was under in China highly downplayed his special needs. They were told he just had a brain tumor but was a normal kid and it wasn’t until the first day they had him that they realized that wasn’t true and once they were back in the US, they slowly found out how severe his issues were.

Her multiple videos "doc shopping" trying to find someone who wouldn't say this was a terrible idea paint a different story.

If he has a brain tumor, there may be a brain injury or damage not ASD. To say he just had a brain tumor but a normal kid? How is that even possible. Think about what you are saying. A brain tumor means he is a complex SN medical situation and they clearly were not able to handle it. This isn't just ASD but something far more. Any doctor would have told them that. Most internal adoptions have a doctor or two look over the medical files. Who on earth would think that a child having a brain tumor would not have other issues?

No, I wouldn't trust the system but no way should an off the books adoption be done either as you don't know anything about the family who is adopting him which is equally risky. This kid could easily be abused as there is no home study, no follow up home visits, nothing. It may not even be a real adoption and just a POA signed.

He may be more there than people realize.

Ehhh, I don’t think so unfortunately. Never heard him talk in any videos on YouTube or IG. He’s four but seems to have the mindset of a 1 year old. I just don’t ever see him being a “normal kid”.

I know several kids including mine who did not talk till after four.

Did they have strokes in the womb and neuro specialists looking at their brain scans advising they would never take this on themselves and that issues would likely be lifelong? Because this child had that. Doesn't justify the parent's actions, but when you have specialists looking at neurological activity and saying, "I wouldn't..." that doesn't bode well normally.

What doctor is going to blab out to the parent of a child that they should give the child away rather than treat the child? It's not even a believable statement, it sounds like an excuse to support their choice to giving him away.

I saw a screenshot of her comment to someone on the YouTube video. Apparently he was being extremely violent towards the other kids as well as some other huge issues. She said if it was one of her biological children, she’d have taken the same route and gotten professional opinions as to what would be the best way to handle them.

So idk, sounds to me like there were dangerous situations happening. They have a young baby in the house as well. If medical professionals told them that he’d be better in a home without other kids and one on one attention, I can’t fault her for that.

Maybe he was, but she would not have given her child away in a rehoming situation and not gotten that child help. Depending on her insurance, they will pay up to 40 hours a week of ABA, OT, PT and ST plus the school system probably offered help too. I cannot believe a medical professional would say rehome him. They may say hand him over to child welfare but not rehome him.

The kid isn’t a dog. Stop saying “rehoming him”, it sounds so ignorant.

That is the word the adoption community has. Either way, you don't rehome a child or a dog.

A lot of moms complain when they have difficult babies....

A lot of moms don’t give their kids away....

He was not a baby. Most moms complain, but you don't complain on video/online where the child and your other kids and their friends and families can hear it all. Imagine what that would do to a child. This kid will go online one day and read all about this. Imagine how that will impact him after all the trauma he's had.

I’m sorry but no, he won’t go online one day and read all this. He has severe special needs and can’t even talk. He will never go and read about himself online.

Not giving away a child, but that this was well known prior to adoption and the adoptive parents accepted this risk, against medical advice. And here they are...

They are giving him away. What else do you want to call it? You want to make it sound nice... we're putting him up for adoption? They aren't even doing a legal adoption.
