The couple are planning to adopt pregnant Ileana, 20, from Austria, whom Huff met online in a social media group for people interested in adult adoption.

The writing seems to be written on the wall for a family of three, and My colleague Nick Schager nailed the emotions of concern in his review last month of the series..

“Danny’s ill-advised motives for bringing Ileana into the family are obvious, but with a grin, he frequently declares his excitement about being a father, and performs calling Ileana his son his girlfriend while Christy looks so heartbroken… he sits Ileana in a trailer right outside his front door, buying her tons of baby clothes and paying for medical appointments her, and say things like, ‘At the end of the day, Ileana, I want you to stay right here’ because I love to hug you and you’re awfully sweet. ‘”

While A&E did not respond to The Daily Beast’s request for comment on why the show was pulled, Huff confirmed to The Daily Beast that he is aware that the show has been taken down and is no longer airing.

But in a follow-up request, Huff did not respond to a request for comment on a deleted TikTok video that began circulating last week..

“Racism still exists in this country,” he said in a video posted last February on his official TikTok account.

“Unfortunately, it comes from the Negro. White people are largely not racist, we don’t care. Black History Month, BET, all-black colleges, Black Lives Matter, these are just examples of how racism is alive and well in this country. ”
