They are also just trying to put their own unique twist to something they catch all the time on social media, which are pregnancy announcements. So with photos with themes like bubble bursting, still no bun in the oven and a movie poster with the title "Infertility," the post went viral.
As noted in Today Parents, the Blakes, who are from Nampa, Idaho, came up with the ideas while brainstorming in the car. They shared that they were laughing as they made the infertile versions of the pregnancy announcements. But what they did was just not for laughs, instead, they are for a bigger purpose and that is to raise awareness about infertility, which is an issue that is almost always shoved by couples out of the public eye.
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.
