Popular YouTubers Myka and James Stauffer said they would love their adopted son unconditionally. So why did they give him away? @caitmosc reports nym.ag/2FAQjXm
In a video earlier this year, the Stauffers revealed that they had placed Huxley, their then almost 5-year-old autistic son from China — whose adoption process and life they had documented for more than three years — with “his now new forever family” nym.ag/2FAQjXm
In the kindest light, they were painted as well-meaning but naïve parents who'd gotten in over their heads; in the harshest, they were fame-hungry narcissists who’d exploited a child for clicks only to discard him when caring for him proved too difficult nym.ag/2FAQjXm
