The day you become a parent is a day you will carry with you for the rest of your life. Suddenly, a unique little individual has been welcomed into the world and is dependent on you. It’s your job to create the best conditions for them and help them fulfill their dreams.
When Adriana Iliescu became a mother for the first time in 2005, she made headlines around the world. The reason? She was 66 years old.
When Adriana gave birth to her daughter Eliza, her happiness was infinite.
Now, 17 years later, the elderly mother is once again in the spotlight after new pictures of her daughter are getting a lot of attention…
There are days in a person’s life that really change everything. Everyone who is a parent probably agrees that the moment you welcome your son or daughter is indescribable.
Seeing that precious child look up at you for the first time, it’s the best feeling in the world.
Some children are written into the history books at birth.
That’s precisely what happened to Eliza Iliescu when she was born in 2005 in Romania. Because of her mother, the girl became historic.
Adriana Iliescu was 66 years old when she became the world’s then oldest mother. For obvious reasons, her birth story made headlines and the birth of Eliza earned Adriana a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.
In 2010, Adriana opened up about motherhood and talked about her feelings because she had been heavily criticized after she became a mom. People thought she was selfish and too old.
“The mirror is unkind to women, but if we are talking about my energy then I feel like a young woman. I feel like I’m 27 and when I feel a bit more tired, I feel like I’m 37. I am healthier than women more than half my age,” she told Daily Mail.
“People think they are being funny when they call me granny, but I didn’t have Eliza to make me look younger. I never feel my years.”
During her interview with the British tabloid, the then 71-year-old Adriana also revealed that she had plans to have another child.
”Medically, it’s possible,” she said. ”I understand there are trials going on with a 70-year-old woman in England, so it could be done. I am fine and healthy and I think it would be possible to have another child in the future, but I’m not in a rush at the moment.”
Like most daughters and mothers, Adriana and Eliza have formed a strong bond over the years. Eliza is an energetic, funny, and very happy child.
Even though many have an opinion about Adriana’s age, the elderly mother claims she’s a good parent and that she does everything for Eliza.
