"So blessed to add another son to the Chandler family. Ace Chandler was born April 19th. The blessings of adoption have enriched our lives more than we ever thought possible. @briechandler has had adoption on her heart for over 2 decades and after our son Hap, we knew we’d do it again. So many people have said we have given such a gift to these young men, but to us, it’s always felt like the exact opposite...we feel like we have won the lottery every single day."

When Michael Chandler addressed the backlash he received over parenting his children
During his appearance on the Shawn Ryan Show, Michael Chandler said that virtue was the most important thing to be a good man, explaining:
"I'm not raising black children. I'm raising children. And whether you are black or you are white, no matter what race that you are, there are certain things about being a man and being a good man when it comes to character, and integrity, and safeguarding the helpless, and sticking up for those who need it. And being a good man, a good man of reputation, none of that has to do with skin color. Everything has to do with the character of the man."
