Chance was born as the second child of [[Connie Lobdell]] and [[Ruple Smith]] in Kenai, Alaska on September 20, 1990 | Chance was born as the second child of [[Connie Lobdell]] and [[Ruple Smith]] in Kenai, Alaska, on September 20, 1990, under the name "Patrick Smith." From birth, Chance faced [[Health and Appearance|numerous health complications]], including being born underweight, with only one kidney, an undeveloped lung, scoliosis, and various other health issues. These challenges were likely due to Chance being born prematurely, reportedly at just 26 weeks (6 months) into Connie's pregnancy, which would've been so early that he would have not yet developed melanin in his skin, leaving his skin somewhat transparent. These claims come from Cyraxx though, and should be taken with a grain of salt. | ||

Regardless, the Alaskan authorities removed him from Connie's custody, who couldn't take care of him due to her disabilities, and entrusted him to his grandmother, [[Sally Arntzen]]. Sally relocated him to somewhere around Atlanta.
