On May 26, 2020, Ohio-based vloggers Myka and James Stauffer uploaded a new video to YouTube titled “An Update On Our Family.” In the video, the couple responded to intensifying questions from their subscribers, confirming that they had dissolved the adoption of their then 4-and-a-half-year-old son Huxley, whom they had brought home from China in 2017 when he was 2 years old. The Stauffers, who ran a YouTube channel called “The Stauffer Life” with around 700,000 subscribers (roughly a million when you included their other channels), explained in the since-deleted video that Huxley’s special needs exceeded their ability to properly care for him.
