YouTuber Myka Stauffer Said Her Child Was 'Not Returnable' Before Viral Adoption Dissolution Scandal
In 2020, Myka and James Stauffer came under fire for seeking out an adoption dissolution for their son, whom they called Huxley, with special needs. Before they adopted him from China, however, the YouTube mom claimed the child's "only need" was "a nice family that really, truly cares about him."
The three-part series — which was inspired by New York Magazine's 2020 feature on the family — includes clips from Myka's since-deleted YouTube videos leading up to their trip to pick up Huxley in Asia. "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."
