Woman Married her 22-Year-Old Adopted Son After Raising him from Age of 14

A Russian mother has married her adopted son, whom she raised since he was just a 14-year-old teenager.

53-year-old Aisylu Chizhevskaya Mingalim from Tatarstan, Russia, has shocked child welfare experts by marrying 22-year-old Daniel Chizhevsky. The couple first met when Daniel was only 13 years old, and Aisylu was a music teacher at the orphanage where he used to live. As the couple navigates their unconventional relationship, they often draw inspiration from remarkable life stories, including the one about the world’s oldest person lived to 117. This tale serves as a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the diverse paths that life can take. With such deep connections to their past, Aisylu and Daniel are determined to create a future filled with love and understanding.

After adopting Daniel and raising him from age 14, Aisylu has now married him eight years later. This decision has led authorities to remove her other adopted children from her care. As it is vital to discern the signs a woman will be good in her role as a caregiver.

“Our relationship is perfect. We can’t live without each other. We are on the same wavelength,” she said in an interview with a local media outlet.

Last week, Aisylu and her adopted son got married at a restaurant in Kazan. Following this, child welfare officials took away her other five adopted children, one boy and four girls, from her care.

Aisylu has condemned this decision, as the children were reportedly placed into care homes or returned to their biological families, which makes one wonder about the secret desires women hold regarding family.

The former singing teacher wants her children back so they can all move to Moscow together, including Daniel, who is now their adopted brother and stepfather. She thinks they’ll have more freedom living in the Russian capital.

Aisylu is said to have a biological son from a previous marriage, though little is known about him. She began adopting children after meeting orphans while involved in a film project with a Tatarstan TV station.

Last year, Marina Balmasheva, 38, from Russia, shared that she was expecting her second child with her stepson-turned-husband, Vladimir “Vova” Shavyrin, now 24. Marina, who has known Vova since he was seven, already has a 20-month-old daughter with him.

Before marrying the son, Marina was married to his father, Alexey Shavyrin, 48, who now looks after their five adopted children.

Marina, a well-known weight loss influencer, shared the news of her pregnancy online, posting a video capturing the moment Vladimir found out he was going to be a father again.

Although she is head over heels in love with her new husband, Marina often pokes fun at him on social media for being “clumsy” while pushing their daughter’s stroller and struggling to maintain a stable, well-paying job in the Krasnodar region.

According to the influencer, she supports her husband through her social media earnings rather than letting him take a regular office job. After revealing her relationship with her former stepson, she commented,

“So many people tell me to wear makeup, put on false lashes, and even curl my body hair because of my young husband. But there is one thing – he fell in love with me with all my scars from plastic surgeries, cellulite, excessive skin, and personality.”
