Instead, they could have fostered a traumatized child from here, but then they would have some oversight.

Why? What is so suspicious about it?

The infant girl adoptions from China are long over. The children available for adoption have special needs and a sizable majority are boys.

I wouldn't. She did a video once about how expensive and time consuming his therapies were. If I could opt out of that, I would too.

Would I actually give the kid back? Probably not but I'd want to, for sure.

Then why adopt a child with special needs? They knew he would have delays before even leaving for China.

+1 There's a perspective among some (white, Christian) adoptive parents that any home in the United States is better than any home in the child's country of origin. But that's not always true, and I think it's worth interrogating whether these folks did more harm than good by removing Huxley from his home culture, language, and whatever supports he could have received in a Chinese foster home (which is increasingly the model).

+ 1

Their "excuse" is that "God called them to adopt" though so that's one of those things that's impossible to argue with when it comes to believers.

Vapid garbage people who throw a child away rather than deal with special needs. She cries crocodile tears about it while relating in her best vocal fry how hard they really tried.

Then she turns around and posts on Instagram, “All I want this week is a little ME time (heart emoji). With everything going on right now, I need more than ever to carve out a little extra time, to de stress and recharge. ‘Alexa play spa music!’ Tonight I am going to pretend that I am at the finest spa with my @kiwibotanical goodies! Now on rollback $6.97 at Walmart!”

His fake tears were pathetic.

Never heard of these people before, but my first impression is about as bad as it gets.

Let's get real. The kid staged a revolt that he planned the very second he found out they planned to call him HUXLEY. Talk about a terrible name.

How much money did they receive? Did they refund everyone who gave them money?

You know they didn’t.

It's disgusting and beyond pathetic how they are trying so hard to cry and squeeze out fake tears, and repeatedly saying how much they love him from the bottom of their hearts, yet they gave him away. As the mother of a child with autism and severe needs, these people are despicable, and their actions are inexcusable. The only person in that situation who is truly suffering is Huxley.

Wow, I thought you guys were talking about a difficult teenager. I can't believe they rehomed a toddler like an unwanted puppy. WTF.

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.

Sometimes otherwise loving parents do have to terminate parental rights in order to get their kids intensive in-patient care that would otherwise not be affordable.

What do you tell your other kids? How are they not traumatized by you giving their brother away and wondering if they are next?

Yes. This happens rarely--but not a toddler!
