"An Update On Our Family" YouTubers Gave Up Adopted Son

In 2020, YouTubers Myka and James Stauffer shocked followers by announcing they had "rehomed" their adopted son, Huxley, a 4-year-old with special needs from China. The couple had documented every step of the adoption process, making Huxley a central figure on their channel before gradually removing him from content. The couple claimed his needs were greater than they had anticipated. Backlash quickly followed, with critics accusing them of treating Huxley as a prop for content. A new HBO docuseries revisits the controversy.
