A big-scale motherhood
Christina Ozturk is 23 years old and she lives in Batumi, Georgia. Together with her 56-year-old husband they bring up 21 children! Her first child was Victoria, born when Christina was 17 years old. During her vacation in Turkey Christina met Galip Ozturk. A strong feeling plus the desire to have children connected these two for good.
Children from surrogate mothers
Christina always wanted to have a big family. She was planning to have a baby every year. Eventually the couple decided to have the children born by surrogate mothers. So far they have given them 20 kids. The oldest one, Mustafa Galip, was born on 10 March 2021 and the youngest, Olivia Fadime, on 16 January 2021. In Georgia surrogate motherhood is completely legal as long as the couple wishing to adopt the child is heterosexual.
Big family, big spendings
Christina admits that buying the essentials for babies costs them about $4,500 - $5,500 per week. The babies need about 20 large boxes of diapers weekly and the surrogate motherhood has already cost them about $183,000. Since Galip Ozturk is a successful businessman, money is not a big issue, though.
Babysitters to help
Every day there are 16 babysitters helping the couple with the babies. Each child has got a notebook where the busy mum records how much each of them eats and how long it they actually sleep. The couple, perhaps not quite seriously, declare that they could have even 105 children! Christine doesn’t say to another pregnancy but at the moment she wants to focus on the kids she already has, which is not an easy task at all. Just wondering what it looks like when they go for a walk together?
