Kristina Ozturk, a 26-year-old mother from Russia, has made headlines for her incredible journey of raising 22 biological children and her plans to expand her family to over 100.
Her children, 20 of whom were born within just over a year through surrogacy, are part of a dream she shares with her husband, Galip, a millionaire businessman. The couple invested a substantial amount—$180,000—into surrogacy services between March 2020 and July 2021 to achieve this remarkable family size.
Kristina has always dreamed of having a large family, a vision she shared with her husband when they first met. Their surrogacy clinic is supportive of their goal, and Kristina is determined to ensure her family is the happiest, even if not the largest. Despite the overwhelming task, she juggles all the responsibilities of motherhood—though with the help of nannies—stating that her daily life involves everything from managing household schedules to grocery shopping.
Looking to the future, Kristina and Galip have expressed intentions of growing their family even further. While waiting for their current children to get older, they plan to embark on another round of surrogacy, aiming for more than 100 children. However, their journey has been complicated by Galip’s legal issues, as he was sentenced to eight years in prison for drug-related offenses in 2023. Despite this setback, Kristina remains hopeful, thanking her supporters for their encouragement during this challenging time.
