Huxley was a child that was already given challenges when he entered the world and due to false information given at adoption Myka and James Stauffer learned they were in over their heads.

The Stauffers wanted a big family and Myka wanted to adopt a child after having 4 children of their own. Having a YouTube channel and blatantly disregarding the words of professionals they posted their whole journey from start to finish trying to draw up more views and followers.

Myka and James defied the suggestions of specialists to not share any stories of the process until after it was over lead to them having their followers worried about Huxley when they stopped posting due to the re-homing process.

If you chose to adopt a child, the process needs to be done with the utmost certainty of the parents and the adoption organization. When it is not followed then there is the probability of what happened to Huxley happening to another child.

These children are abandoned and moved across the world and then to uproot them again is detrimental to their cognitive and social development.

We cannot let what happened to Huxley happen to another child.
