Seeing Adriana Iliescu and her 5-year-old daughter Eliza walking hand in hand, you are more likely to believe that they are a great grandparent and a granddaughter. Adriana, a writer from Romania, delivered Eliza at the age of 66, and she is 72 now. She became the oldest mother in the world in 2005 thanks to IVF.
People call Adriana granny for fun, but she got used to it. And what would you say if a 72-year-old woman delivers another child?
Adriana is healthy, and she doesn’t deny the possibility of having another baby at her age.
How much time does Adriana think she has? In case of her death, her daughter will have a guardian and three properties that Adriana has now. Of course, Eliza is a smart kid. She can read and write, and she has many friends. But is it fair on her to have such an old mother who even doesn’t tell her daughter how old she is?
