A young woman who has welcomed 22 biological children has revealed that she plans to have over 100 kids.
Parents can have their hands full with just one baby, so raising 22 at once seems almost unbelievable.
However, one mom dreamed it and is now living that reality at just 26 years old.
Kristina Ozturk and her husband Galip Ozturk have spent more than $260,000 on surrogates between March 2020 and July 2021, welcoming 22 children into their family.
The couple spends a further $124,000 yearly on 16 live-in nannies who care for their large family. In addition to this, the businessman spent $7,000 a week on essentials for the babies, including 20 large bags of nappies and 53 packs of formula, per NZ Herald.
The children are named: Victoria, Mustafa, Maryam, Ayrin, Alice, Hassan, Judy, Harper, Teresa, Hussein, Anna, Isabella, Ismail, Mehmet, Ahmet, Ali, Kristina, Alena, Sarah, Lockman, Alparslan, and Olivia, The Sun reported.
The couple met in the Georgian city of Batumi when Kristina was a single mother-of-one and was on vacation there from Russia.
"I've dreamed about this since childhood," Kristina told The Sun about having a large family. "My husband also dreamed about having a big, happy family. So after we met, we started to put our dream into action.
"Our romantic relationship has changed but then our whole lives have changed, not just the romantic part," she continued.
The supermom revealed that she and her husband dream of having a "big family" and are hoping to have 100 children in the future. They are waiting until their current children are slightly older before beginning another surrogacy journey.
"I’m not sure if we will be the biggest family in the world, but we are planning to be the happiest family in the world for sure," she added. "I’m planning my pregnancy, but not straight away, because for now I need to be close with my babies."
Another reason why the baby plans are put on hold is most likely because Kristina's husband - a businessman who owns the bus company Metro Turizm - was arrested in 2023.
Galip has been sentenced to eight years in prison after being found guilty of illegal purchase and possession of drugs and psychotropic substances, according to Agenda.
News.com.au reported that this isn't the first time Ozturk was caught by law enforcement as in 2018, he fled to Georgia after being sentenced to life imprisonment for the 1996 murder of a man named Kuvvet Köseoğlu in his home country of Turkey.
