On the 19th (local time), major foreign media reported that Britney Church (35), who lives in Wichita, Kansas, USA, is raising 12 children. Church became pregnant with her first child with her ex-husband at the age of 15 and gave birth to her daughter Chrisman (19) as soon as she turned 16. She then gave birth to three children in consecutive years: Jordan (17), Caleb (16), and Jace (15). After having Cadence (13) with her ex-husband, she divorced.

After the divorce, Church attended a party and became pregnant with Jazlyn (11) from a man she met there. As the number of children increased, she was working in a factory to make a living when she met her current husband Chris (32) at work in 2014. She gave birth to Silas (8), Christopher (7), and triplets Oliver, Asher, and Abel (4). She had six additional children in total. Not stopping there, Church recently gave birth to her youngest daughter, Rowyn (2).

Church said, "I spend most of my day doing housework," adding, "I do laundry 21 times a week and change about 80 diapers," expressing her exhaustion from childcare. She continued, "I spend nearly $400 (about 530,000 KRW) weekly on food, including 5 boxes of cereal and 66 packs of milk," and lamented, "I spend $100 per child on birthday presents, totaling $1,200 (about 1.6 million KRW) a year, and on Christmas, I have to spend $4,000 (about 4.34 million KRW) on gifts."

Regarding the biggest change since the triplets were born, Church pointed to the "vehicle." She said, "We used to ride in a 12-seater car, but as the children increased, we recently purchased a 15-seater vehicle." She also said, "Having so many children felt like a bad thing," explaining, "I felt like I had to explain to people why I had so many children. Nevertheless, I didn’t want to trade the world’s judgment for my children. Now, I am very proud of my children and not ashamed."

Church said, "People ask me, 'Why don’t you get rid of the children?' That’s really rude," adding, "I am satisfied with my life. I know not everyone would like a life like mine, but I have no regrets." She continued, "I work as a cake decorator to support my family," and drew a line by saying, "I am too tired to plan for a 13th child."

Meanwhile, the person who gave birth to the most children in the world is Fyodor Vasiliev from Russia. He gave birth 27 times, having a total of 69 children, including 16 sets of twins, 7 sets of triplets, and 4 sets of quadruplets, earning a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
