At the height of his family's adoption scandal, the YouTube star Micah Stauffer Called to wear Cartier.

Micah and her husband, James StaufferThe title is the subject of a new docuseries An update on our family, which debuted on HBO on Wednesday, January 15, following its Tribeca Film Festival premiere last year. Staffers, who did not respond to producers' requests for comment, is known for her candid family vlogs and has taken fans on a journey to adopt son Huxley from China. The audience is against the family in 2020, however, when Micah and James "Rehabilitates" their adopted sonwho was diagnosed with autism.

Before Huxley was given a new forever home, Micah was widely criticized for refraining from fostering the "little guy," who was 2 years old when he was adopted. As the family tried to meet his medical needs, Micah and James put Huxley in speech therapy.

"We're going to a different speech therapist," Myka said in a 2018 YouTube vlog, which was featured in episode 3 of the docusery. “Not that $500 a month. But we'll go to something like $70 for 30 minutes."

Some viewers called Huxley's comments hypocritical after noting that he was wearing a Mica Cartier bracelet while talking about cost-cutting. At the time of uploading the video, the jewelry was reportedly worth around $6,500.

"But you can't pay $500 a month for a speech therapist?" one critic said in a response video.

Social media personality Sophie Rosswho has been at the forefront of dissecting the adoption scandal, reflected on the "rabbit hole" the Stauffer family went down.

"(Micah) was obviously living a life of luxury while apparently saying that, you know, she didn't have the resources to take care of the man she adopted," Ross said in the doc.

Others have disputed whether Micah and James adopted Huxley to increase engagement on their YouTube channel. The duo's popularity has skyrocketed since their vulnerable videos about the adoption process and has landed deals with brands like Myka Fabletics, Huggies, Kroger and more. (Most of these brands ended their relationships with Staffers amid the rehoming scandal.)

Staffers fans began to worry for Huxley when he was noticeably absent from family videos. When the couple initially brought Huxley home in October 2017, Micah declared that she and James felt confident about the decision, despite the challenges they faced.

"If anything, My child is not refundable,” Micah said in a YouTube video uploaded months before Huxley's adoption became official.

Micah and James are the parents of Cova, Jaka, Radley and Onyx, who were not adopted. As Huxley was seemingly ostracized from the vlogs, Mayka was called out for deleting comments about her position. He and James finally gave their explanation in a May 2020 video.

"We would never just give up a child with special needs, it's a personal matter for Huxley, it has nothing to do with his autism," Micah added while responding to critics in the comments section, claiming Huxley "wanted this decision."

After a month, our weekly Confirmed one The investigation began Huxley's welfare after news broke that he had been placed with another family. The case was eventually closed, as authorities determined that Huxley was safe and happy with his new adoptive parents.

Staffers went off the grid after the scandal, deleting their family YouTube channel. In a June 2020 Instagram post — her last on the platform — Myka issued a public apology to the adoptive community.

"We don't adopt a child to gain wealth," he stressed. “While we received a small portion of the money from videos featuring Huxley and his journey, every penny and more went back into his care. It was very expensive to get Huxley the care and services he needed and we made sure he got every service, and resource we could possibly find. … We love Huxley and know that this was the right decision for him and his future. Praying that Huxley has the best future in the world.”
