What Happened to Myka and James Stauffer's Adopted Son Huxley After They Found Him a New Home? Insights on His Current Situation from the Couple.

In An Update on Our Family, Vox Media Studios revisits the viral adoption dissolution scandal that pushed Myka and James Stauffer's family channel offline. The series premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2020 and debuted on HBO on Wednesday, Jan. 15.

The three-part docuseries — which was inspired by New York Magazine's 2020 feature on the family following the fallout — includes old videos shared by the couple before they announced their decision to re-home their adopted son, Huxley, and wiped all of their content off of YouTube 2020.

In 2017, the Stauffers welcomed Huxley into their home, but two years later, they decided to rehome him, claiming that his newly diagnosed developmental disabilities prompted them to find a different family for him. This choice sparked significant outrage among viewers, who felt betrayed by the couple, particularly in light of prior comments they had made in their videos.

In one of the deleted YouTube posts that resurfaced in the new docuseries, Myka told her viewers that she and her husband were well-equipped and willing to learn how to parent a child with special needs.

The ex-nurse expressed, “I’m uncertain about what his medical diagnosis will entail. How much education will he require? Will he need additional practical experience? Could there be delays? Regardless, I want to emphasize that my child is not something that can be returned.”

At the time of the docuseries' premiere last summer, Myka, James, and Huxley's new family did not provide any comments to PEOPLE despite the requests.

Here’s an update on Huxley’s life and the recent statements made by the Stauffer family following his rehoming.

The Stauffers gained fame through their popular family YouTube channel, where they documented their experiences as parents to their four biological kids and their adopted son Huxley, who they welcomed into their family from China at the age of 2½ in 2017.

Myka and James chronicled their journey through the adoption process, sharing moments with their son in various posts, including the time he was diagnosed with autism.

In one since-deleted vlog featured in An Update on Our Family, Myka discussed how she used Dreft laundry detergent to "bond with" Huxley in a sponsored video.

"Dreft baby detergent carries a fragrance reminiscent of a newborn, allowing me to feel like I’m holding a tiny baby again, even while cuddling my 3-year-old son. It brings back that baby scent I missed when he was born," shared the Ohio mother in a video titled, "5 Surprising Things About Our Adoption from China!" as she played with her toddler.
