The McKinney family may welcome another child athlete into their family in the future.
In a recent interview with In Touch Weekly, Maci admitted that the possibility of adoption will “never be off the table” for her and husband Taylor McKinney, who are already parents to daughter Jayde and sons Maverick and Bentley– the latter of whom Maci’s shares with ex Ryan Edwards.
Maci and Taylor— who, in the past, have talked about their desire to adopt a child— said that they have no plans to adopt any time soon, though.
“I just know we have specific expectations and goals of what we want to be able to provide and what we want to be able to give,” Maci said. “And we are just not in that space right now. We’re drowning with ours and everything else that right now, it’s just not realistic.

“Even if it was fostering and not adoption–- just fostering in hopes that they do find adoptive parents-– I could never take it off the table,” she continued. “But right now, it’s just not realistic for what we wouldn’t be able to give, everything that would need to be given and what we want to provide. It’s just not possible right now.”
Taylor agreed that as of now, the topic is “on the back burner.” Still, he admits there’s some hesitation on his end.
“There was a couple years where even after Maverick, I still kind of wanted a fourth child, even though Maci didn’t,” he said. “And then we kind of brought up adoption, too, but I don’t know.
“I think, I know for me at some point, it kind of turned where I was like, I think we’re good with three [kids],” he continued. “I don’t know, a fourth one would be tough.”
On a 2019 episode of ‘Teen Mom OG,’ Maci pressed for Taylor to undergo a vasectomy, arguing that she was “100 percent” sure she did not want to have any more biological children.
Taylor ultimately didn’t go through with the procedure, though Maci claimed they both were “very respectful of how the other feels about it.”
“We’re on the same page as far as it being OK that we’re on different pages,” she told Us Weekly in 2020.
