The couple documented the entire adoption process and their life with Huxley, who was diagnosed with autism and sensory processing disorder. In 2020, Myka and James faced severe backlash after announcing they had "rehomed" Huxley, citing their inability to meet his special needs.

The decision led to widespread criticism, accusations of exploiting Huxley for content, and eventually, the deletion of their YouTube channel and Myka's social media hiatus. Since then, Myka has remained out of the public eye, while James continues to run his car-focused YouTube channel, "Stauffer Garage."
