Adıyaman Couple Abuzer and Zeynep Doğan Welcome Twins After 34 Years via IVF
Abuzer (66) and Zeynep Doğan, a couple from Adıyaman, Turkey, pursued assisted reproductive treatment for more than three decades. After selling their home to fund the procedure, they underwent in‑vitro fertilisation and gave birth to twin girls, Tekbir and Havva, in 2018.
The twins' visit to Anıtkabir was recorded and widely shared on social media, drawing thousands of congratulatory messages. The family was later visited by Mesut Polat, the provincial director of Family and Social Services, as part of the presidentially declared "Family Year" programme. The Doğan family’s story has been highlighted for its perseverance, multiple treatment attempts across several provinces, and the joy of parenthood in later life.
