'I have more energy than half these kids'
The grandmother-of-17, McGregor, responded to trolls that claimed she was too old to care for a baby. Speaking from Atlanta through a video call, she said, "They said I guess just because of my age I can't take care of a baby, what? I have got more energy than half of these kids that are taking care of babies now and I don't see it as a problem." She further added, "No I can not have a baby myself but we have done the surrogacy thing where we already had three surrogates and right now we are looking for another one and also maybe adoption," as reported by Daily Mail.
The couple, who have over three million followers on TikTok, admitted that their families have been "in battle" with them because they don't understand their relationship. She said, "Its been a battle with them, us trying to prove to them that it wasn't a joke. Out of my seven children they were saying he was using me, we weren't using each other, we can't help who our hearts fall in love with."
