A Russian woman, Kristina Ozturk, aged 24, has embraced motherhood by welcoming 21 surrogate babies within just over a year, along with her millionaire husband. Despite investing £67,700 annually in employing 16 nannies, Kristina insists that she remains a hands-on mother. Kristina, originally from Moscow, aims to have a total of 105 biological children with her 57-year-old wealthy hotel owner husband, Galip Ozturk.
The couple has spent €168,000 (£142,000) on surrogates between March 2020 and July this year and allocates $96,000 (£67,700) per year for the care of their children by employing 16 live-in nannies. Kristina, who also lives with her six-year-old daughter Vika from a previous relationship, affirms that she is actively involved in the children’s lives despite the assistance of multiple nannies.
In an interview with Fabulous, Kristina shared insights into her daily life, emphasizing the diversity of her routine, which includes managing staff schedules and shopping for her family. She maintains an active presence on Instagram, where she updates her 162,000 followers about her bustling life, showcasing busy mealtimes, play sessions with the children, and outings with double prams.
Despite the perception that she relies heavily on nannies, Kristina claims to spend significant time with her children and is committed to building a unique bond with each one. She addresses concerns about the quality time spent with each child, asserting that she wishes every parent could dedicate ample time to their children.
Kristina and Galip have welcomed a diverse range of children, with their ages ranging from three months to 19 months. Kristina’s social media updates include details about their family routine, such as separate meals for children during the week due to Galip’s late working hours.
The couple’s surrogacy journey began in March 2020 with their first biological child, Mustafa, and their most recent addition, Judy, who is just three months old. Despite facing challenges, including surrogate mothers wanting to keep the children, the couple remains committed to their goal of having over 100 children.
Kristina explains that the surrogacy process involves selecting surrogates through a clinic in Batumi, Georgia, where the couple resides. The surrogates undergo counseling and sign legal paperwork, and only those who have previously experienced pregnancy are chosen. The surrogate mothers have no rights to the children, and the genetic parents retain custody.
Kristina, who personally trains each nanny, follows a strict routine for childcare and oversees every aspect of her children’s lives. She emphasizes the importance of maintaining detailed records for each child, including their daily activities, eating habits, and health updates. Despite the challenges, Kristina remains dedicated to her large family and expresses a desire for more children in the future, although the final number remains undetermined.
