Most parents picture a modest family. Two children, perhaps three. Kristina Ozturk imagined something far bigger.

By age 26, the Russian-born mother had 22 biological children. Still, she says she is not finished. Her goal is to raise more than 100.

Kristina lives in Georgia with her husband, Galip. Together, they pursued a long-held dream of a very large family. While she gave birth to her first child naturally, the couple relied heavily on legal surrogacy to grow their household quickly. In just over a year, surrogates delivered 21 of their children.

Daily life looks nothing like the average home. Careful planning keeps things running. A team of nannies works in shifts. Schedules guide meals, naps, baths, and bedtime. Supplies arrive in bulk. Organization, Kristina says, makes the impossible manageable.

She describes motherhood as her life’s purpose. She often shares family moments online and speaks openly about her choices. Critics question whether such a large family can meet every child’s emotional needs. Others raise ethical and environmental concerns.

Kristina responds calmly. She insists that family size is a personal decision. What works for one household, she says, does not have to work for another.

Her story fascinates many, unsettles others, and sparks debate wherever it appears. Still, for Kristina, the focus remains simple. She wants a big home, full of children, noise, and life. And for now, she plans to keep going.
