In a world where family sizes are shrinking, one mom defies the odds—and the norm. Meet Kristina Ozturk, a 26-year-old mom of 22 biological children. Yes, you read that right. While many parents juggle the challenges of raising one or two kids, Kristina has taken on parenting on a monumental scale. And she’s not stopping there—she dreams of having over 100 kids.
Originally from Russia, Kristina lives in Georgia with her husband, 58-year-old millionaire businessman Galip Ozturk. Their incredible parenting journey began when Kristina had her first child at 17. The couple later turned to surrogacy, welcoming 21 children between March 2020 and July 2021. That’s nearly 20 kids in just over a year!
Kristina reflected on their journey, saying, “My husband also dreamed about having a big, happy family. So after we met, we started to put our dream into action.” The couple invested approximately $180,000 in surrogacy services to make their dream a reality.
A Full House, Supported by a Small Village
Managing 22 children might sound like chaos, but Kristina has a system. With the help of 16 live-in nannies—at an annual cost of around $96,000—her household runs like clockwork. Despite the extra hands, Kristina remains hands-on, proudly sharing, “I’m with the kids all the time, doing all the things that moms normally do. The only difference is the amount of kids.”
Her days, as you might imagine, are anything but boring. “Each day is different, from planning staff schedules to shopping for my family,” she explained.
Kristina frequently shares glimpses of her bustling household on social media, where followers are captivated by her unique family dynamic.

Kristina and Galip aren’t just stopping at 22 kids. They’ve expressed their ambition to grow their family to over 100 children. However, they’ve decided to pause their surrogacy journey until their current kids are a bit older. Kristina hasn’t ruled out giving birth herself but admits it’s “not practical” for now.
Despite the hurdles, including Galip’s recent prison sentence, Kristina remains focused on her family’s happiness. “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 said.
A Family Unlike Any Other
Kristina’s story is as extraordinary as it is inspiring, showcasing how families can grow and thrive.
She says, “Our surrogacy clinic is amazed but happy to help us with our dream of a big family.” With a heart big enough to hold over 22 kids (counting), Kristina’s journey is a remarkable testament to the boundless possibilities of love and family.
