  Jeannette McCurdy and Alyson Stoner said it best, even if the famiiy itself isnt abusive, making a child the breadwinner of a family is a form of ca. No child should live under that level of pressure.

  Didn&apos;t they give up adoption from Africa because those agencies had a non-publication clause for their kids specifically to AVOID people using adopting from Africa for attention online?

  James Stauffer &amp; Kevin Franke got off way too easy. James deserves to be cancelled &amp; Kevin should be in prison for abuse &amp; neglect.

  These people treated adopting a child like rescuing a dog from the pound. The way they &quot;chose&quot; the &quot;perfect&quot; child or how they &quot;rehomed&quot; him. Sick, evil people.

  Me: &quot;Huh...I don&apos;t think I remember that name. Who was Myka Stauffer again?&quot;<br>Video intro: &quot;We&apos;re gonna adopt...from China!&quot;<br>Me, neck-deep in flashbacks like an amnesiac hero in a movie getting all their memories back: &quot;...oh. OH. IT&apos;S THESE PEOPLE. THE PEOPLE WHO ADOPTED A SPECIAL NEEDS BABY AND THEN <b>SENT HIM AWAY.</b> LET&apos;S GO, SWOOP. GET PETTY WITH IT!&quot;

  I follow the IG of the woman who adopted Huxley and the updates she posts occasionally show that he is so happy and thriving in her care, especially as she also respects his cultural identity and makes an effort to keep him connected to his heritage

  Myka actually chose Huxley because he was diagnosed with the brain tumor and was originally given 2 years to live. Once home, they discovered he would NOT die. This was not great news for his parents, like it normally would be. I followed this story after they rehomed their son. They expected 2 years then they could suck up the sympathy from their dead child. Instead, their child would live, and would live with them forever in constant need of care. They were buying a prop, not lovingly adopting a son. They WANTED him to die! It&apos;s extremely sick. I think this tid bit of info is much needed before making up your mind on Myka and James. And it&apos;s mostly Myka, which is why she is taking so much heat. James fought this, but Myka has been desperately trying to be YouTube famous for years. Her story gets much darker than her husband&apos;s.<br><br>Their&apos;s wasn&apos;t a normal situation, like the other lady who had to give up her child. This was different. Huxley was a prop the entire time to them. They had a plan to adopt a terminally ill child...so he would DIE! It&apos;s so horrible.

  He was a prop from the moment they adopted him, but he didn&apos;t die quickly like he was supposed to. They went shopping for a terminal child - - because that was the low effort, high return investment Myka was looking for to help grow her business.

  I have a perspective on being adopted by white parents. I&apos;m black. I was 15 when I was adopted. They gave me the love and support I needed and taught me valuable life skills.<br><br>However, things got a bit strange when we were around their Christian friends. Some were genuinely surprised I was American-born, while others were shocked that I was 15 when adopted. It was a weird experience, and there was a noticeable stigma around me.<br><br>Then there were the other adoptive parents. I noticed a tendency to show off their children from overseas, almost like they were trophies, as if to say, &quot;Look at me, I&apos;m such a wonderful person!&quot; This made me uncomfortable. My parents never did that.<br><br>People constantly asked me where I was &quot;really&quot; from, as if I wasn&apos;t American. I&apos;d hear the same judgmental whispers behind my parents&apos; backs: &quot;Why would they adopt someone so old? He&apos;s got such an attitude problem!&quot; (Which, let&apos;s be honest, I probably did at times, being a teenager). It felt like there was an unspoken idea that children from other countries were somehow more deserving of adoption.<br><br>I was often the only American-born Black child in these social circles, which was isolating. My parents, bless their hearts, always had my back. They would shut down intrusive questions, defend me from the judgment of their Christian friends, and protect me against racism and bigotry.<br><br>Watching this video, I&apos;m not surprised by how these people handled it. I know a few people who&apos;ve handled similar situations horribly. I&apos;ll just say it: some Christians use adoption as a ploy to portray themselves as good people. But once the novelty wears off or the child becomes challenging, they say they can&apos;t handle it and that &quot;God told them to let them go somewhere else.&quot; It&apos;s incredibly frustrating and infuriating when they use God in this way.<br><br>I believe that the bottom line for anyone considering adoption is this: be prepared to accept the good and the bad parts of a child. We are all human, and we are not perfect.

  As someone who was adopted as an infant with intense health issues (that caused many families to pass me over and meant I was without parents in a hospital for my first few months of my life) this story sickened me. Adopting a child is as serious of a commitment to that child as birthing them. Huxley was not a commodity or expendable. Parents who “rehome” kids that are inconvenient to them aren’t fit to be called parents at all. <br><br>They made the choice to adopt a complex child and exploit him and then act all shocked Pikachu face when he had issues and wasn’t a camera-perfect little doll.<br><br>I look at my mother, a teacher, who was told by doctors I might POSSIBLY have intellectual disabilities due to prolonged oxygen deprivation and went out to get a special education masters degree in preparation just in case, then look at Myka, and it infuriates me. She was a nurse, she had zero excuses.
