Ok but imagine this, is the child gonna be taken back to the orphanage if they even mention him her or perhaps even give updates just because they r happy or proud with the child and their progress or something. Not to mention, whats gonna happen if they post a family photo on like instagram for example. Is the baby gonna go bye bye? Thats ridiculous. R they supposed to shove them in the basement for a year without having them ever appear or be mentioned online the entire time. Thats not good for the child. Also im not referring to the couple but just in general. Just my thoughts tho, could be wrong.

[@pkernoob786]

It's called a Freudian Slip. I don't think that's what it was really. I don't think they ever really intended on adopting a child at all. They probably knew that Thailand had this social media policy in place before starting the adoption process. The whole thing seemed very manufactured. Idk if they ever named the agency the went with but I wouldn't be at all surprised if their was never an adoption agency in the first place. To me this entire thing screams narcissistic pathological liars. Maybe they were in talks with an adoption agency in Thailand but I HIGHLY doubt it. Back to the Freudian slip... If it was a slip I don't think it was related to the adopted child, but rather the audience and the situation as a whole. "Pray on it" not in relation to the imaginary child but to the entire situation and the people watching that they are profiting off of. I think the audience is the 'prey.' But regardless that was a good catch. I didn't notice that and its probably nothing but it could definitely be a classic Freudian slip.

Yeah it does seem cruel, but I’m not so sure that’s the right thing to do. Don’t get me wrong, what they did to their dog was awful, but animal lives don’t really matter as much as a human life is. I do believe animal cruelty is awful and something that animals don’t need to go through. My family had to put down two dogs in the past. Our cocker spaniel, Lady, was 13 years old and was dying to old age, and it broke everyone’s hearts that we had to put her down. Another dog we had was a wiener dog named Maggie that fell in the hole we had in our backyard (we moved since then) and suffered from eternal bleeding, so we had to put her down. So putting down a dog is somewhat better than letting them suffer and die slowly, but if the dog was healthy was traumatized, they shouldn’t have put him down and instead give it away.

I don’t need to say what I think August, cause you said it ALL! NOTE: When I had my first and only child, I wouldn’t let ANYONE take their photo, (except close responsible family members). No videos that may end up online! I was EXTREMELY protective and almost didn’t let them enroll in a particular daycare as it was a rule they snap a photo of them for their files, (Im guessing in case they ran away or went missing then they’d have a photo for police?). Rather over protective than subject them to lack of privacy and that kind of exposure, especially for selfish reasons!

[@emzizi_]

As someone who is half Thai and and currently living in Thailand, I actually had no idea about this law. I’m happy that the child didn’t get put into this family honestly because if you can’t accept the fact that the child will need privacy for even just a YEAR, you’re not going to be a good parent.For once i’m proud of this countries law 😭

[@josephaliker287]

[@Nakiatakai]

The reason they have that rule is so the child isn't taken advantage of. Remember that couple who adopted that Asian boy and because he had some problems they couldn't exploit him and washed their hands of him when they had their own baby to post on KZbin.

[@hodgekim]

[@danyarubin3803]

So I actually kind of agree with them on the not wanting to have a year with their kid before the adoption is finalized part....I mean I don’t know the details of Thailand’s policy specifically, and of course I do appreciate a country wanting their kids to be in a healthy home, but it also means that various socio-political issues that cause countries to close adoptions periodically could result in a loving home loosing their child after months or a year through absolutely no fault of their own. I know of this happening sadly and it’s absolutely devastating for the kid and parents. But yeah if seems like they care more about the social media part, which is ridiculous. It’s not like they can’t take pictures of their child for the first year, they just can’t post it on social media. Can’t believe they actually said “we don’t want to violate anyone’s privacy who isn’t our child” 😖😬

[@caitlinreuterskiold5828]

I heard about this but didn't look into their reasons for backing out of the adoption. I have 2 kids. I don't post them anywhere except my private social media, and then only with their permission. This actually makes me SO angry. Like wtf.

3:30 I completely agree on that. You know when you see an acquaintance and you’re like “how have you been?” And they share some details about their life? You care for the sake of the conversation, but it’s not something you’re invested in and would actually care to investigate. It’s crazy that so many people care so much about the life of these random guys for… seemingly no reason

[@victoriawilliams2786]

Hay August! Didn't there used to be a "family" channel here on KZbin where the parents RETURNED THEIR ADOPTED CHILD? And it all came out that the only reason they adopted the child/children was to showcase them on their channel? I wish i could remember the details so i could look it up. All adoption agencies should blacklist this couple, imo. I hope you get feeling better soon.

Love when child exploiting is called out

[@thesavvyblackbird]

I was adopted in the US by private adoption. My bio mother chose my parents and actually knew them as they were her youth group leaders. When I was adopted in 1997, bio parents parents had a year to change their minds and cancel the adoption. It gives everyone time to make sure they’re happy with the relationship and ensure that the bio moms aren’t pressured into giving up their babies when they’re vulnerable and freshly post partum. I think that’s a great safeguard. My parents were concerned about my bio mom changing her mind, but she saw how happy they were with me and how much better my life would be. My parents were also welcoming towards my bio family and allowed them to be as close as they chose. I had a great relationship with my bio grandmother and half sister as well as my bio mom’s two sisters. The whole thing with Myka Stauffer and her husband adopting Huxley, a little boy with autism, and then giving him up is a great example of why those safeguards are in place and need to exist. The need for extra martyr brownie points from adopting a kid with autism nObOdY wOuLd WaNt was stronger than the logic of adopting a child that had a photogenic bubbly personality. Surprise surprise when Huxley was not a model perfect child he was abused and given up. I’m thrilled that this couple didn’t adopt and hope other adoption agencies see this and decide not to place a child with them because any child will be 200% exploited.

[@anonymus.ferrett]

i get that when you grow your family you might want to share your new baby to the world or maybe family. this doesn’t feel like the situation for these people. it’s not hard to go a year without posting one person. if you want a kid bad enough you would not care at all. i get that they have a youtube channel, i get that you post online, you just have to wait to share that child online. i’m sure thailand has this rule so that they can make sure the parents are going in with genuine & pure intentions. addition: i also think it’s ridiculous that they’re not ok with the fact that it takes a year for the adoption to finalize. they’re not just going to give you a kid…. you’re going to go through a foster phase to make sure it’s an actual good match and everything works. it’s not about them not allowing you to have the kid, it’s not a restriction to anger you, it’s just that they need to see the relationship and environment work first before they’re sure about finalizing the adoption.

Adoptions are supposed to be a morality decision, not a business one. You should be torn at the fact that you can’t adopt a child, not mildly annoyed that you can’t show them on social media for a relatively short period. And they thought they were in the right for being annoyed. People like them *need* to be permanently banned from ever adopting a child.

[@RyanSmith6644]

I think they have that law because other family vloggers adopted a disabled Taiwanese boy and they ended up just giving him away because he was a lot to handle (witch they knew before the adoption.) It was a huge thing a few years back the whole situation was so sad.

[@AncientCreature-i2o]

That's fucked up. Those people deserve to be in prison.

[@RyanSmith6644]

@@AncientCreature-i2o absolutely agree. My brother is disabled and I couldn’t imagine him being given to a random family after my family had adopted him. That family had I think 5 or 6 kids already and the reason they tossed this disabled adopted kid is because the woman got pregnant AGAIN 7th time I do believe and decided it was too much to raise a baby and a down syndrome baby at the same time. I believe her quote was”it’s not fair for my baby to have less time given to them because I’m dealing with this child with disabilities.” Mind you the disabled child she spoke of was her kid they adopted him that makes it your child. They just wanted views and clicks and when they didn’t get praise for being so kind and wonderful for taking in a disabled boy they tossed the kid onto some random viewer in a different state I believe then hid it until the viewers figured out the kid was no ware to be seen in her videos and she never mentioned the boys name again that’s when they reported her to the authorities and all came out. They pretty much just erased that baby boy from existence. I wonder how the other kids felt being given a brother they loved to have him just disappear one day. They then tried to make us a story about this kid being so violent they couldn’t deal with him when until she got pregnant everything was fine and dandy then suddenly they paint him as Freddy Kruger or something. They made this poor disabled immigrant baby look like hell spawn. So sad. I hate family bloggers because of this crap. It’s all about attention no matter who it hurts.
