Mother welcomed her first child at the age of 66: This is their life today

When Adriana Iliescu became a mother for the first time in 2005, she made headlines around the world. Reason? She was 66 years old.

When Adriana gave birth to her daughter Eliza, happiness was boundless.

Now, 17 years later, the elderly mother is once again in the spotlight after new photos of her daughter have been noticed by many…

There are days in one’s life that really change everything. All parents probably agree that the moment you welcome your son or daughter is indescribable.

Seeing that precious child look up at you for the first time, it was the best feeling in the world.

Some children are recorded in 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.”

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.

Becoming a mother so late in life was not Adriana’s choice. When she was young and newlywed, Adriana Iliescu was forced to abort her baby for medical reasons. At 24, her husband abandoned her.

After that, Adriana focused on other things in life and at her teaching job at a university in Romania.
