James Stauffer Broke Down During Vlog After 'Rough' First Time Meeting Adopted Son Huxley: 'Poor Kid'


James and Myka Stauffer traveled to China to pick up their adopted 2½-year-old son, Huxley, in October 2017. In 2020, the YouTubers placed him in a new home through adoption dissolution.

Vox Media Studios' resurfaced significant scenes from their since-deleted videos in the three-part docuseries An Update on Our Family, which premiered at Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday. "We are privy to this case and given the facts at hand, we feel this was the best decision for Huxley," Myka and James' lawyers, Thomas Taneff and Taylor Sayers, told PEOPLE in an exclusive statement issued in May 2020. The vloggers' legal team noted that the Stauffers followed the advice of medical professionals, which, the lawyers clarified, "did NOT include any considerations for placement in the foster system, but rather to hand-select a family who is equipped to handle Huxley’s needs."
