Kristina and Galip Ozturk have had 21 biological children in 19 months using surrogates.
They join Kristina's 6-year-old and Galip's nine older children. Sixteen nannies help the family.
Experts say that if the family dynamic is healthy, raising this many children could be OK.
Kristina and Galip Ozturk have a big family. In the past 19 months, the couple, who live in the country Georgia, have used surrogates to welcome 21 biological children into their family.
"I can tell you one thing - my days are never boring," Kristina recently told The Sun.
The Ozturks' youngest baby is 3 months, and their oldest is 19 months. In addition to the babies, the couple live with Kristina's 6-year-old from a previous relationship and one of Galip's nine older children.
To provide that environment, the Ozturks rely on 16 live-in nannies and a variety of personal chefs, cleaners, and assistants, Kristina said on Instagram, adding that the nannies were not assigned specific children but rotated.

Detailing the finances of the situation, Galip and Kristina noted that they paid each surrogate £7,700 per pregnancy and their nannies were paid £350 a month each.
The nannies work four days on, two days off and live in the couple’s three story mansion where they have their own rooms and kitchen.

Kristina said: "It costs about $5,000-$6,000 (£3,500-£4,200) per week for essentials for all the kids. Sometimes a little more, sometimes a bit less.

I'd hold off and wait to see how they feel about it.
In spite of the father's past, at this point it's irregular, can't agree with evil. Now, tearing them apart, institutionalizing, possibly never to see their parents or any of their brothers and sisters again...
Must be cuter than 5 baskets of puppies when they're playing. 
I am sure each child will get the love and attention it needs.
So now there's intrigue about being Most a Most Wanted Man by officials in Turkey.
Is this family Muslim? Or rather, is their a religious component behind the charge? Political?
I feel like the intention is to increase population for purposes yet to be made apparent or figured out.
Not just about having a houseful of kids.
what could possibly go wrong
... and the emigrated there from Turkey. I wonder if he's some kind of oligarch? Maybe the Georgian government has assured him of future income. Otherwise how will they be able to feed this many kids?
