When Kristina Ozturk (27) from Georgia calls her children to dinner, she needs perseverance: Victoria, Mustafa, Maryam, Ayrin, Alice, Hassan, Judy, Harper, Teresa, Hussein, Anna, Isabella, Ismail, Mehmet, Ahmet, Ali, Kristina, Alena, Sarah, Lockman, Alparslan and Olivia. Before you count: That’s 22 names!
All her daughters and sons are her biological ones. But only Victoria (10), the eldest, gave birth to Kristina herself. The other 21 children came by Surrogate mother to the world.

16 nannies help raise the children
It wouldn’t work without the help of nannies – 16 in total! Costs: almost 115,000 euros per year. Nevertheless, Kristina emphasizes, she takes on many tasks herself. “The only difference is the number of children,” she explains. “Every day is different, from staff planning to shopping for my family. One thing I can tell you is that my days are never boring.”
