From his Twitter: 

For some time, Chasten and I have wanted to grow our family. We’re overjoyed to share that we’ve become parents! The process isn’t done yet and we’re thankful for the love, support, and respect for our privacy that has been offered to us. We can’t wait to share more soon.

How exciting for him! Hopefully he's talking about a real baby/child and not a new puppy or something

This was just the happy news I needed to read today!

Chasten shared the tweet on IG with a baby bottle emoji so it sounds like baby to me!

That makes me so happy! It's nice for once to smile when reading about a politician instead of cringing and wanting to throw things.

Chasten has posted a little about he and Pete's struggle to have a child, I hope this current development of theirs ends happily for them.

That’s so awesome! They are such a cute couple!

I feel like I’m not understanding what about this announcement would lead anyone to speculate that it’s a dog. Good grief.

There was a profile of Chasten in the Washington Post a few weeks ago where he mentioned that they were pursuing adoption.

Yeah, they’re not your dumbass second-cousin on FB who likes to overdramatize things.

I’m here. Would any other politician have this questioned?

They already have 2 pups. This is def a human child 👪

So excited for them!

They've apparently been working with an adoption agency for a year and were open to both emergency placement and being chosen by a birth mother in advance for placement.

Guessing that this is a combination of getting placement but not having the adoption finalized yet and wanting to respect their child's privacy.

Pete and Chasten have adopted two babies! (I initially referred to them as twins but I think that's incorrect since the article doesn't refer to them that way).

A friend of mine growing up ended up with two babies at the same time. They were pursuing adoption and were chosen by two mothers. Given the probability of one deciding to parent, they stayed with both and ended up with a pair of boys born two days apart 🥰

no idea if that is what happened here though. Just an example of non-twins adoption “twins”

Not the same, but our friends were chosen by a mom to adopt their first, and she had a second child specifically for them to give their first son a biological brother. ❤️

underwaterrhymes, oh that is 🥰🥰🥰

I was an adopted only child that sooooo wanted a sibling. Funny story, I use to ask my parents for an older brother. That “chosen one” mythology they used in the 70s sure backfired on them 😂😂

I know it doesn’t say they’re twins, but what are the odds that these babies would otherwise be born on the same day?

Many other articles about their births have called them twins. So, I’m presuming they are twins.
