Why does Michael Chandler keep adopting?
There, Chandler won the Bellator Season Four Lightweight Tournament and went on to win three Bellator Lightweight Championships. He is ranked #5 in the UFC lightweight standings as of November 2, 2021.
According to Chandler, the main impetus for taking this significant step was Willet’s prior encounters with orphan children who only wanted to go home and nothing else.
“For us, once we got through all the paperwork, and the background checks, and the criminal background checks, and the financial background checks, and the medical background checks, and all the fingerprinting…once we finally got all that done, we got an email that said, ‘Congratulations, you’re now active’ — and then six minutes later, we got a phone call.”
Chandler further said, “We didn’t even get over the reaction of settling into the idea of, holy cow, we’re now active, we’re now allowed to adopt…it was all of a sudden six minutes go by and we get that phone call.”
Chandler went on to explain how his son was nine months old even though he wanted a newborn to be six months old. However, “Iron” happily accepted it as God’s will after getting the picture of his son.
He went on to describe how they met the birth mother and how lovely a person she was. The teenager was only 17 years old.
