YouTuber Myka Stauffer slammed for 'rehoming' adopted autistic son: 'Being a parent requires sacrifice'
The woman, 32-year-old Myka Stauffer, and her husband James posted a video showing them crying saying that they had decided to "rehome" their adopted son Huxley.
She announced that she "rehomed" him after adopting him from China nearly three years ago.
James revealed that after almost three years after adopting the boy, he and his wife had come to realize that Huxley had a lot more special needs that they were not aware of.
Myka shared, "Do I feel like a failure as a mom? 500 percent!"
Myka has a following of around 717,000 subscribers on YouTube.
She grew to fame with her popular videos — REAL Newborn Morning Routine 2019, What I Eat In A Day To Stay Healthy And Lean, and SURVIVE Quarantine like a BOSS! THRIVE AND get your life BACK! According to the New York Post, Myka also has sponsor partners such as Big Lots, TJ Maxx and Danimals yogurt.
Both Myka and James had cited medical privacy concerns and did not go into detail as to why they chose to give their son up.
She had earlier stated that the toddler has autism and brain trauma. However, this decision did not sit well with social media users.
Many took to Twitter to slam the couple for their decision in comments.
