At 66, Adriana Iliescu became the world’s oldest mother. Eliza’s birth made headlines, earning Adriana a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.
In 2010, Adriana spoke about her experiences and opened up about parenthood, addressing the harsh criticism she received for becoming a mother at an older age.
“The mirror is unkind to women, but in terms of energy, I feel young. I feel like I’m 27, and when I feel a bit tired, I feel like I’m 37. I am healthier than women half my age.”
“People think they’re funny when they call me granny, but I didn’t have Eliza to look younger. I never feel my years.”
At 71, Adriana disclosed to a British newspaper that she intended to have another child.

Medically, it’s possible,” she said. ”I understand trials are ongoing with a 70-year-old woman in England, so it could be done. I’m healthy and think it’s possible to have another child, but I’m not in a rush.”
Like most mothers and daughters, Adriana and Eliza have grown close over time. Eliza is a bright, funny, and incredibly happy young girl.
Although many people have opinions about Adriana’s age, she insists she is an excellent mother who cares for Eliza in every way.

I don’t smoke or drink. If I live as long as my parents did, Eliza will be 20 by the time I pass away. I believe I still have much to give her.”
Adriana did not choose to have children at such a late age. As a young bride, she had to have an abortion for medical reasons, and her husband left her when she was 24.
Adriana then focused on her career as a university professor in Romania.

I couldn’t think about having a child while working.”
“But by the age of 37, after completing my doctorate, I was ready to have a child. But IVF didn’t exist back then.”
When in-vitro fertilization became available in Romania, Adriana was 57. Despite therapy, her first pregnancy in 2000 ended in miscarriage.
Her desire to become a mother caused many to turn their backs on her, deeming her actions immoral. But Adriana never gave up.
