Shay Barbee, a 44-year-old woman from the United States, has 14 children. All of them are her own, and she says the large family is her fulfilled dream.
That dream leaves her little time for herself. Much of her day goes into preparing food and working out how to transport the family, since the children cannot all fit in the car.
