Kristina Ozturk, a 26-year-old who claims to be the mother of 22 children, has captivated the internet with a video showcasing her large family. Residing in Georgia with her wealthy businessman husband, Galip Ozturk, who is 58 years old and has served an eight-year prison sentence for drug-related charges, Kristina's story is as unique as it is fascinating.
Out of the 22 children, 21 were born via surrogate mothers, with 20 of them born within the same year. Kristina has expressed her desire not to stop here, aiming for a total of 105 children. The video posted on Instagram features Kristina introducing each of her children by name and birthdate. Among her children, two were born in 2020, one daughter from a previous relationship in 2014, and the youngest, Olivia, was born in 2021, with the rest arriving over a year through surrogacy.
According to Peroz.ro, the children, including Mustafa, Maryam, Ayrin, Alice, Hassan, Judy, Harper, Teresa, Hussein, Anna, Isabella, Ismail, Mehmet, Ahmet, Ali, Kristina, Alena, Sarah, Lockman, and Alparslan, range from two to three years old. "Please meet the Ozturk family,".
Kristina captions the images that have gathered admiring comments for their beautiful and large family setup.
In February, Kristina, originally from Moscow, released a book detailing her experiences as a mother to such a vast family, emphasizing the never-ending quest for parenting knowledge and the uniqueness of her situation.
She openly discusses the reliance on the support of 16 nannies, whom she paid over $86.200 in a single year, and the substantial sum of $214.000 paid to surrogate mothers between March 2020 and July 2021.
Despite the logistical and financial complexities of raising 22 children, Kristina and her husband Galip are considering expanding their family further, though they plan to wait until their current children grow a bit older. This extraordinary tale of family life and surrogacy has sparked both admiration and curiosity across social media platforms.
