A mother of 22 kids, Kristina Ozturk, plans to continue having kids until she reaches her goal of over 100.
At just 26 years old, Kristina Ozturk is a mother like no other.
With 22 biological children already in her care, she envisions a family that exceeds 100 members.
This ambition sets her apart from those who typically plan for a smaller family size, perhaps two or five children at most.
She shared the dream of expanding family with her billionaire husband
Hailing from Georgia, Russian mother Kristina Ozturk sees her current brood of 22 as just the beginning.
Her goal? To expand her family to include a staggering 105 biological children.
In a remarkable feat, she welcomed 21 little ones through surrogacy within just over a year.
She embarked on this extraordinary journey alongside her millionaire husband, Galip.
Among her children are a diverse array of names – from Victoria, her first child from a previous relationship, to Mustafa, Maryam, Ayrin, and a host of others.
In an interview with The Sun, Kristina shares that her aspiration isn’t to have the world’s biggest family, but rather the happiest.
She reflects on how this dream dates back to her childhood.
Upon meeting her husband, they united to pursue this shared vision.
“I’ve dreamed about this since childhood. My husband also dreamed about having a big, happy family.
So after we met, we started to put our dream into action.”
How did she manage her family?
To manage their rapidly growing family, Kristina and Galip have enlisted the help of 16 full-time nannies.
Each nanny earns a monthly salary of $500.
The household consumes 20 large diaper boxes and 53 packs of baby formula every month.
This amounts to a substantial weekly expense of $5,000 to $6,000 for essentials.
When it comes to getting sleep, Kristina humorously remarks that she’ll “sleep a lot in another life.”
The babies are in bed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., allowing her to catch up on rest until 7 a.m.
Mother-of-22 claims to keep giving birth until she reaches over 100 kids
Despite encountering criticism for her unconventional choices, Kristina remains resolute in her path.
In response to detractors, she asserts that the decisions they make regarding family planning are personal.
She emphasizes that surrogacy has been important for their family growth.
The choices they make are their own and deserve respect.
“To people who disagree with my choices, I say don’t have so many kids if you don’t want them, that’s your choice,” she told The Sun.
“Don’t use surrogacy if you don’t want, that’s your choice. But this is our life, and it’s our choice.”
