For the rest of your life, you will reflect on the day you became a parent. Just recently, a unique little person that relies on you was brought into the world. It’s your duty to create the ideal environment for them and support the realization of their dreams.
When Adriana Iliescu gave birth to her first child in 2005, she garnered headlines around the world. The reason? She was 66 years old.
When Adriana gave birth to her daughter Eliza, she was overcome with excitement.
The elderly mother has been out of the public eye for 17 years, but some recently released, well publicized images of her daughter have brought her back.
There are some days that have the power to completely change someone’s life. It goes without saying that no parent who has ever experienced becoming a parent can adequately explain the moment they meet their child.
When that cute little kid first glances up at you, it’s the sweetest sensation in the world.
Some people are born into history books and become immortal.
When Eliza Iliescu was born in Romania in 2005, she had that exact experience. Because of the girl, the girl’s mother made history.
At 66 years old, Adriana Iliescu became the oldest mother ever. Eliza’s birth garnered media attention for obvious reasons, earning Adriana a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.
In 2010, Adriana opened up about motherhood and shared her experiences after receiving severe criticism after giving birth. The general public thought she was selfish and excessively elderly.
