23-year-old Christina Ozturk seems to have a particularly strong desire to have children.
She is the mother of eleven children at a young age.
Almost 15 years ago, a sensational birth in Germany * caused a sensation: A woman from North Rhine-Westphalia gave birth to a total of five children at the same time in 2006.
Multiple births of this magnitude are, however, the exception.
For example, quintuplets are only born in about 50 million births - provided they were naturally conceived.
At first glance, the case of a woman from Georgia is all the more astonishing.
Because: Christina Ozturk is already the mother of eleven children.
The extraordinary thing about it is not just their number, but rather the age of the native Russian - she is just 23 years young.
Georgia: 23-year-old is already the mother of eleven children
Christina Ozturk was only pregnant with one of the eleven children: her eldest daughter Vika (6).
The remaining ten offspring were carried by surrogate mothers.
Why?
This is explained by information that she reveals on Instagram.
There it says in her biography that she wants to have “a total of 105 children” - hardly feasible for a single woman alone.
Practical for the 23-year-old: In Georgia, using a surrogate mother has been legal since 1997 - at least for married heterosexual couples and provided that the woman cannot become pregnant naturally.
Even more practical: Because her husband is the multi-million dollar hotel owner Galip Ozturk, the costs are likely to be covered to ensure the care of such a large number of children, as well as to be able to participate in the surrogacy program at all.
23-year-old Georgian wants "105 children in total"
Even if they were carried by strange mothers, the ten children are genetically descended from both Christina Ozturk and her 56-year-old husband.
He already has grown-up children - but with his new family there are now many more to come.
Incidentally, the young multi-mother does not want to use support from a nanny.
"I am very grateful to my husband that he fully trusts me in all matters that affect the children," she writes on Instagram.
