Thread: The 24-year-old mum with 22 children, and counting

    The 24-year-old mum with 22 children, and counting

    -February was the last time MercatorNet visited Christina Ozturk and her husband Galip at their home in the Black Sea resort city of Batumi, Georgia. They had embarked upon a project of acquiring 105 children of their own with the help of surrogate mothers. Things seem to be proceeding according to plan. Nine months ago they only had 10, plus Christina's daughter from a previous relationship. Now they have 21 – another 11 surrogate babies.

    Christina, who is 24, insists that she is a "hands-on mother" even though she currently has 16 live-in nannies. She spends US$5,300 a week on essentials, including 20 large bags of nappies and 53 packs of baby formula. She also employs cooks, gardeners, security guards, cleaners and even a HR manager.

    Her 57-year-old husband Galip is a multi-millionaire Turkish entrepreneur in the travel business. It seems that he resides in Georgia because life is complicated for him in Turkey. He fled the country in 2013 after its Supreme Court sentenced him to life imprisonment for involvement in a 1996 murder.

    Christina is Russian. Her very active Instagram account, @batumi_mama, is a rich source of parenting tips, lifestyle advice and product placement for toys.

    The question is, Why? Christina explains in one of her posts...

    She must have the perfect female body for birthing I suppose it was like that when God made Eve. No pain just a thrill

    I remember speaking to one lady who loved being pregnant it was as if hormones were released in her body that gave her joy.
    My wife like many other women had tough pregnancies.

    I just found out a girl I grew up in church with is a surrogate birth giver.

    I was pretty shocked considering she's married and goes to church. I'm curious how her husband handles that.

    They have 3 kids of their own and she's had an additional 4 surrogate babies.

    I was told she was getting $25,000-$30,000 per child.
