An Update on Our Family: The dark story of the YouTubers who re-homed their autistic son after three years Controversial vloggers Myka and James Stauffer faced widespread backlash in 2020 when they ‘re-homed’ their autistic adopted son Huxley.
In a trailer for the documentary, which aires Wednesday (January 15), fellow vloggers detail the events leading up to Huxley’s disappearance from the Stauffers’ YouTube channel while experts emphasize just how much money parents can make from posting content about their children online.
They were “rehoming” their autistic son, Huxley, nearly three years after adopting him from China.
According to the couple, who also have four biological children, they had seen numerous medical professionals regarding Huxley’s “severe needs” and decided he had a “lot more special needs that we weren’t aware of”.
The boy had been front and center of many of their parenting and lifestyle videos before suddenly vanishing from their posts.
