They subsequentlyfound each otherand fell in love, in a real-life fairy-tale of sorts (viaDistractify).
On their officialblog, Erica details the process and why it was so important to them.
“We wanted all the kids to know that as their step-parents, we chose THEM.

By marriage we became a family and automatically felt the benefits of being a family together.
We didn’t need to adopt in order for the kids to know we are here for them.
But, would Erica and Spencer be open to adding any more kids to their already large family?

It makes me want to vomit to think that they are even thinking about it.
Erica, being a mom of 11 children and being pregnant is on another level.
Like, ‘You’re crazy’.”
The concerned brother didn’t even want the couple to adopt each other’s kids, in fact.
