#Surrogacy Care

Well she is. 21 babies in just over a year to be exact.

Kristina has authored a book titled Baby's Diary. News18Join our Whatsapp channel

The feeling of motherhood is a special one and many experience it multiple times, choosing to have more than one child. Kristina Ozturk, the wife of a wealthy Turkish individual, stands out in this regard. Despite being only 26 years old, she has already become the mother of 22 children via surrogacy. Originally from Russia, Kristina, along with her millionaire businessman husband, 57-year old Galip, welcomed 21 surrogate babies into their lives between March 2020 and July 2021. Despite this remarkable number, Kristina expresses her desire for even more children.

Kristina’s eldest child, an eight-year-old daughter named Victoria, was born naturally from a previous relationship. Despite facing criticism for what some perceive as “buying babies,” this mother from Georgia remains steadfast in her decision to expand her family. Kristina has openly expressed her ambition to have even more children, aiming to reach a three-digit figure.

Her plans face challenges as her Turkish businessman husband was imprisoned in 2023 on charges of money laundering and document falsification. Fortunately, Kristina is supported by a team of 16 live-in nannies to assist her while her husband serves an eight-year sentence behind bars.

Kristina first met Galip in a club in Moscow, Russia and started a relationship in spite of the 31 year age difference between them. They started living in a lavish three-story mansion in Batumi, Georgia. In February last year, Kristina had paid Rs 1 crore 43 lakh to the surrogates.

Kristina has also authored a book titled Baby’s Diary, in which she shares her journey as a mother of so many children. She reflects that while much has been written about parenting, every day parents seek valuable insights from her to provide the best for their children.

Kristina’s unconventional path in parenting hasn’t been without challenges. She revealed an incident where one of the surrogate mothers expressed a desire to keep a baby after giving birth. As the baby’s genetic makeup consisted of Kristina and her husband’s DNA, the child rightfully belonged to them.

Although Kristina has openly discussed her aspiration for at least 105 children, she now intends to hold off on further steps toward that goal until her existing children are older. While she hasn’t dismissed the possibility of becoming pregnant herself again, she acknowledges the impracticality of doing so with a household full of young children.

It's called puppet therapy. The psychology world has recently embraced it after seeing it on Law & Order.

Hi!! If you’re willing to talk about it/up for it I’d love to hear more about the slavophobia BioWare has in relation to their dwarves. No pressure at all of course bc I’m sure it’s taxing, I’ve just not seen this before and would love a resource to reblog about it if that’s okay. Thank you love your blog ❤️

hello! im actually glad you asked, i'll try to be as coherent as possible 😅 and no u i love yr blog!!

i'd like to preface by saying i don't think bioware invented anti-slavic sentiment in games or in general and isn't the only company, game or otherwise, perpetuating it. it's found all over the western world, most notably in western europe (where we're still regarded as 2nd class citizens, pairs really well with imperialism towards people outside of europe imo), but it also gained a significant boost thanks to the red scare in usa in particular (and continues to thrive thanks to the absolute chokehold mediocre american media keeps everything else in the world in).

im also no social sciences expert, but i do have first-hand experience on the short end of the stick and a couple of books in my have read list so let's say im qualified to rant on 🤭 it turned out quite lengthy so i've hidden it under the cut below!

when it comes to bioware, the first hurdle is already at their utterly haphazard character naming policy. there's a considerable number of dwarves who bear names that range from mockingly slavic-esque to full-blooded backwater serbian, now in yr local fantasy rpg! examples:

gorim saelac. while i do appreciate they tried to give a dwarf a mountain-y name (gora is basically any kind of steep pile of rocks with trees and dew and wildlife over it), "gorim" is how you would say "i am burning" in multiple slavic languages. this is one of the rare ones that are not hurtful and are hilarious instead (and tbh naming him goran, which is what i assumed they were going for, would probably be more ridiculous in the long run. for example i still can't take jowan seriously despite my love for the mage origin bc someone really yassified jovan and thought nobody would notice. wrong!)

lucjan and myaja. these two (along with maybe wojech "we couldn't spell wojciech" ivo) are the classic example of non-slavs butchering the hell out of slavic names bc it suits them better, which is also something commonly experienced by all non-western cultures and communities and a worldwide sign of disrespect. the in-game pronunciation during the provings gave me a physical rash. "myaja" in particular is still in my top 5 wtf moments in origins bc 1) what kind of stroke induced spelling is that 2) it reminds me of kids speaking dialect A mocking kids' dialects B by adding y sounds (which is what set the dialects apart in the first place) at unnatural spots and 3) maja /ma-ya/ would've sufficed perfectly for ethnic coding if that was the sole purpose of her character. do better! sure it was 2009 but from the little i happen to know about the world beyond the atlantic, you're just bound to run into someone of slavic descent in alberta (maybe not exactly polish but anyone would give you a closer phonetics match than... this). it's kind of amusing how 3 of bioware's founders have very slavic surnames and this keeps happening.

bogdan vasca. we don't know anything about him apart from the fact bianca davri was forced into a marriage with him and that his very dwarven parents considered him to be 'a gift from the god' (which is what his name means. theodore would be an equivalent) when naming him. the same clan of dwarves that preserved castes topside (which is why the marriage was arranged) and thus are likely to either believe in the stone (that they do not worship as a god) or nothing, certainly not a very human god with a very human, quite possibly mage (a completely alien concept from common dwarven pov) prophetess and a very human doctrine of considering anyone not human as lesser. the jokes are writing themselves at this point.

all of this naming business falls more into petty territory rather than being outright offensive, but it does bring us to the more serious manifestation — typecasting. the western media simply cannot fathom slavic people in roles that are not violent, volatile (i.e. berserkers, though there are other influences in there), constantly infighting and better off killing e/o (i.e. the diamond quarter, the merchants' guild, the carta) and relating back to thievery, addictive abusable substances and trafficking (i.e. the carta, but also official channels of lyrium supply from orzammar to the rest of thedas). as a slavic woman, it was exceptionally painful to see bioware join virtually everyone else in depicting us as women whose major purpose seems to be to engage in prostitution and surrogacy lite (i.e. noble hunters, most evident in beraht's grooming of rica brosca into the role of one). while these practices are tied to societies of woman-hating — and orzammar, if not all of thedas very much is one — i just take incredible offence in someone naming them integral (dwarven birth rates and the blight anyone?? i hated every moment of that) for a society that's previously been coded with people like myself in mind. of course im going to relate to how someone who looks like me is treated, that's the very purpose of casting. doesn't help bioware's cause that the bulk of npc's with slavic names tend to be lower-caste or castless - with exceptions such as some minor noble houses (houses ivo and harrowmont, possibly meino too) and branka (who's again smith-born and a whole villain).

by only allowing us to fulfill such roles, we are effectively barred from actually engaging storytelling to spend our eternity on the writers' back-burner. hell, even the witcher has been sanitized for the western eye (despite literally being made in poland) and i am yet to find a piece of modern media that doesn't reduce baba yaga to a quirky chicken-legged aesthetic (while also forgetting she's specific to the eastern slavic people). not to mention that if tevinter and par vollen are truly inspired by byzantine and the ottoman empire respectively, guess which mfs were both their vasals. now guess who built the deep roads and guess what tevene mages need to fuel their magic. if dwarves have already been declared the slavs of thedas, let's at least give them/us some space to be such.

Thinking Lambrigue thoughts and like...how cute it would be if they raised a baby together 🥺

[isdalinarhot]

fic idea. ive started writing it but i wanna make sure i can commit to it before posting it anywhere. basically the gist of it is. sadeas dies and then immediately afterward goes back in time to blackthorn days after he and dalinar hook up for the first time. and he has all his memories of the last 50 years but he is in the body of himself as an 18 year old and so hes like i can use this foreknowledge to assassinate dalinar once alethkar is unified. hehehehe #schemes. anyway dalinar is like haha we should get married and sadeas, seeing a perfect opportunity to get close to him to Fucking Kill Him, is like yeah actually we Should get married. And So They Get Married

and then the rest of the fic is. well from sadeas's perspective hes finding more depths to dalinar than he first percieved due to being around him in contexts other than Battle and Bar and Sex and like, keeps on making excuses for himself as to why hes not fucking assassinating dalinar and hes like almighty fucking storm it im going soft. and he is dragged kicking and screaming onto dalinar's side for most dalinar things. maybe he falls in love i havent decided yet how im gonna do that in a way that feels natural and in character to sadeas. meanwhile dalinar (a romantic at heart) is living in domestic murdery matrimonial bliss and is like im so lucky :) like he is living out the typical fluff slowburn fanfic life in between the guilt complexes and the addictions and all that nonsense but sadeas keeps on finding himself in increasingly soft fluffy domestic circumstances and is internally like ????? WHAT IS HAPPENING ????????????

and it would alternate chapters between sadeas pov and dalinar pov and the dalinar pov chapters are all like wow i love my husband 🥰 fluff schlock and the sadeas pov chapters are sadeas slowly going through de-piece-of-shit-ification over the course of thirty years while absolutely confused about it the whole time

sometimes a fan fiction is popular on TikTok and then I just get a gazillion videos about it and it’s like bro… I don’t care.

don’t get me wrong they can be good sometimes but if they don’t stop forcing me to hear about “manacled” 🔫

like that story sounds so f’d and I’m confused by one part of the description but I’m not going to read that story to find out.

reading a Dramione state issued breeder rape fic? no ty 🤗

[swagging-back-to]

sperm donation and ivf is, and i say this wholeheartedly, repulsive. anyone who supports or engages in this activity is sub human in my mind.

my heart lies solely with the victims of these practices; the children forced into life as test tube babies and forced into the care of entilted control freaks.

finished watching this hbo documentary called google baby and my desire of killing doctors and baby buyers has never been this strong

i had to scroll through so much annoying rambling to get to the point and in the end it wasn’t even describing surrogacy, like, at all. surrogates nowadays often do not have any genetic ties to the child and often do not get to see the child afterwards, ever. they do not get to babysit every now and then, they do not get given a place within the family. they do not get treated as some part of the family but an incubator that is discarded after giving birth. this person really tried to use a case of communal parenting and compared that to surrogacy…

As someone born a woman with the ability to be pregnant, I've always been disgusted with the idea of pregnancy. Not for any weird reason, it was more fear than anything. Despite what people tell each other, childbirth is not a miracle at all and definitely doesn't seem like it when you know the possible effects and their chances of happening. But as of recently, I've been almost yearning for it because it feels like an honour rather than a miracle. Like someone cares enough about me to want me to have their child, you know? I'd never want to raise a child myself though, I can barely keep myself afloat.

I think it circles back to the idea of me being useful to someone. If the one way my body can be useful is to grow a child for someone else, then I'd do anything to do that. It doesn't matter if it puts me at risk as long as it makes the people who benefit from my body happy. Maybe surrogacy is a good option then, but the issue is finding someone who wants me to do it. Maybe that's why it feels like such a wonderful concept.
