A U.S. couple who gained popularity on social media, including through documenting their adoption of a child from China on their YouTube channel, "are facing a backlash after they revealed he had been placed with another family," according to this article from BBC News. The couple, who received sponsorship deals and video revenue for their YouTube channel, announced that "unspecified behavioural issues from Huxley had made life too difficult for the family, which includes four other children."
According to the article, the couple had also asked their followers for donations to help meet their adopted son's needs and "Mrs Stauffer was also interviewed in magazines about caring for children with disabilities."
In July of 2016, says the article, the couple announced their plans to adopt a child from China and by late 2019, the child had stopped appearing in their videos and social media posts. "On Tuesday, the couple posted an update in which they explained Huxley had been given permanently to another family for the sake of his 'emotional well-being.'"
"The incident has again raised the issue of international adoptions whereby parents give up care of the children after a period of time, several people commented."
