Because adoption is not what you settle for because you can’t have biological kids.So can you guys help me catch up? Why did she even do this adoption thing if she could have kids, what is up with that?
Okay, so you don't know the story then? I'm still interested if somebody does know the background. I didn't imply anybody was "settling." When people who can have kids also adopt--there is often a reason. Examples include, "I just love having kids and want to have more" or "I just have more love to give than my limited reproductive system allows." Or sometimes people mistakenly think they are infertile and are surprised to find out after adoption that they can have more kids. I didn't know if they heard about this child with special needs and he captured their heart and they wanted to care for him or if they first set out looking to adopt and then found a child with special needs and adopted him.Because adoption is not what you settle for because you can’t have biological kids.
That's NEVER an excuse to dump a kid. If it had happened the other way around (one of her bio kids attacking Hux) this bitch wouldn't have batted an eye. I've watched their family channel for years to know what a POS she is.Watched the video re "returning" the little boy.
From what was (and what was specifically NOT said) I hear loudly that something happened at home (I get the sense with another child).
I never said, or suggested, that it was!That's NEVER an excuse to dump a kid. If it had happened the other way around (one of her bio kids attacking Hux) this bitch wouldn't have batted an eye. I've watched their family channel for years to know what a POS she is.
They never loved him. You can't love a child for 3 years then just dump themThey gave up on him after THREE years??
Poor boy. He would've seen them as his Mummy and Daddy. That's heartbreaking.
I don't doubt they didn't.They never loved him. You can't love a child for 3 years then just dump them
Thank you, this aligns with what I was able to find as well. The religious thing is particularly concerning to me, even as a believer myself. I saw an article where she referenced asking God for a "sign" that it was the right move, and having received some silly coincidence, she took it as a "sign" and proceeded with what was obviously an ill-thought plan. This thought process reflects a somewhat infantile view of God and his communication with us and how he expresses his will or guides us. You don't ask him if it's okay to do foolhardy things and ask him to let you know by flickering the lights (or having the kid have a birthday close to hers as was the case here)--it's insulting to even ask him if you should do something which your own brain should tell you is a mistake. Having five kids is a challenge in the best of circumstances--choosing to make one of them a profoundly special-needs child from an agency which lies to you about his development and history, with all the kids being really close in age, was a huge gamble where losing would mean tremendous pain for multiple family members.Going back through old videos, Jim said "it would be a fun adventure that we could say we did, and we are kind of crazy anyway". So that was his reason for adopting.
Myka seemed obsessed with those Christian families who adopt on YouTube at the time so she did it because of some calling from god - I notice she has dropped that story entirely as they got more successful.
I have to disagree. I do not think all kids love unconditionally at all, and I actually think some children/people are not even capable of love. My daughter was not loving at all for the first three years of her life. She's very loving now, but there was no mistaking her indifference towards me (which bordered on disdain) in the beginning. At that age she did not have those types of developed emotions whatsoever. (She was evaluated for autism--I'm not pretending this is the average experience.) Whether Myka's child actually loved or was attached to her I have no idea, but it's not outside the realm of possibility that as a child with profound brain damage he was at minimum giving the impression that he was not attached and would not be harmed by being returned, and might even be better off. (Not attempting to say what they have done is okay, just playing devil's advocate.)I don't doubt they didn't.
He would've loved them though.
Kids love unconditionally, he's probably so confused. This really breaks my heart.
