The Spencers also shared their own story saying that they were diagnosed with "unexplained infertility" in 2011 after going through several tests and procedures. It had been a painful journey for the couple but they were able to overcome the struggle especially after they were approved for adoption in 2012. They adopted a boy and then by 2014, they adopted another son. Named Mason and Kellen, the boys have allowed Blake and Whitney to become parents.
Many have been inspired by Spencer's voice about infertility, and Blake and Whitney are glad that they have received positive feedback from their photos. People around the world even shared their own infertility stories and are thankful for what the couple did.
