Adıyaman couple IVF success and new government aid

Overview

Abuzer (66) and Zeynep Doğan from Adıyaman, Turkey, spent more than three decades seeking assisted reproduction. After selling their home to fund IVF, they welcomed twin girls, Tekbir and Havva, in 2018. Their birth and a later visit to Anıtkabir with the twins went viral, drawing thousands of congratulatory messages. The provincial director of Family and Social Services and Adıyaman Mayor Abdurrahman Tutdere visited the family, presenting gifts and praising their perseverance as an example of regional resilience.

In August 2026 the Ministry of Family and Social Services, led by Minister Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş, announced a dedicated “family counseling” program for the Doğans. The aid package includes a new home, basic necessities, education support for the twins and ongoing social‑service monitoring. Officials described the family’s smile as a source of hope for the country and pledged continued assistance to strengthen the family and support the twins’ development.
