TLC‘s Long Lost Family had a special place in Chris’s heart because Chris himself was separated from his biological parents. He was adopted by another supporting family when he was 22 months old.

His adoptive family supported him throughout each moment of his life. They sent him to good schools for his education. Chris went to New Trier High School in Winnetka, Illinois, and after that to Cranbrook School in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

For his undergraduate education, Chris attended Whittier College in California. He graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in English. Then he went on to attend Western State University College of Law and graduated with a Doctor of Law (J.D.) degree.

Following his law degree, he was also admitted to the state bar of California. However, he only practiced for four years before stopping the law practice and entering the show-business.

Although his adoptive family provided everything he needed while growing up, Chris always wanted to meet his biological parents. When he was 22, Chris started to search for his biological parents and he was able to trace his mother without much hassle.

The adoption location service helped him find his mother, who was also willing to meet her son. Chris and his mother got along together well and they still enjoy an amicable relationship after over 25 years of reunion. In fact, Chris frequently posts on his social media is enthusiastic about meeting new cousins and family members.
