The day you realize you are going to be a parent is one that you will never forget in your entire life. The world has just welcomed the arrival of a unique and helpless little person who is dependent on you. It is up to you to create the perfect environment for them and assist them in realizing their goals and ambitions.

In 2005, when Adriana Iliescu gave birth to her first child, she became a topic of discussion all over the world. The reason why? She was 66 years old at the time.

When Adriana gave birth to her daughter Eliza, she was filled with an overwhelming sense of joy.

Because of some recently taken photographs of her granddaughter that have received a lot of attention, the elderly woman is back in the public eye after an absence of 17 years.

There are some days that have the potential to completely transform an individual’s life. It is impossible to put into words the experience of becoming a parent for the first time; anyone who has ever done so will undoubtedly agree with this statement.

When you first see that adorable child look up at you for the first time, it is the most wonderful sensation in the world.

From the moment they were born, certain people were destined to be written about in history books.

When Eliza Iliescu was born in Romania in the year 2005, she went through exactly that experience. Because of the girl, her mother entered the annals of history.

At the age of 66, Adriana Iliescu established a new record for the oldest mother in the world. For obvious reasons, Eliza’s birth made headlines, and Adriana was given a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for it.

Because she had received harsh criticism after becoming a mother, Adriana talked about her experiences and opened up about parenthood in 2010. She was viewed as selfish and overly old by the public.

“The mirror is cruel to women, but if you judge me by my vitality, I’d say I’m a young lady. When I’m a little more exhausted, I feel like I’m 37, yet I just feel like I’m 27. I am in better health than women twice my age,” she told Daily Mail.

“People think it’s humorous to refer to me as ‘grandma,’ but Eliza wasn’t there to make me appear younger. I don’t ever feel my age.”

Adriana, who was 71 at the time, also disclosed that she intended to have another child during her interview.

She said, “Medically, it’s doable. It could be done, since I understand experiments with a 70-year-old woman are currently taking place in England. I am in good health and believe that having another child in the future is conceivable, but I’m not in a rush right now.”

Like most moms and daughters, Adriana and Eliza have grown close over time. Eliza is a bubbly, witty, and incredibly content young girl.

Although many people have an opinion regarding Adriana’s age, the grandmother insists that she is an excellent mom and takes care of Eliza in every way.

“I don’t consume alcohol or smoke. Eliza will be 20 years old when I die if I survive as long as my parents did,” Adriana says, “I believe I still have a lot to offer her.

Adriana did not choose to have children at such a late age. Adriana Iliescu had to have an abortion when she was a young bride for medical reasons. Her husband left her when she was 24.

Adriana then concentrated on other aspects of her life and her work as a professor at a university in Romania.

“While I was working, I couldn’t even consider having a child, she said, adding that “but from the age of 37, once I had finished my doctorate, I was ready to have a child.” However, IVF did not exist back then.”

When in-vitro fertilization became a possibility in Romania, Adriana was 57 years old. Despite receiving treatment, Adriana’s first pregnancy in 2000 ended in miscarriage.

Her desire to become a mother caused people to turn their backs on her. They believed Adriana was acting immorally, but she never gave up and remained steadfast in her desire to become a mother.

After seeking therapy from Dr. Bogdan Marinescu in Bucharest, Eliza was eventually born. In reality, Adriana was expecting triplets, but only Eliza made it out alive after two of the other children passed away in the womb. She unfortunately spent a lot of time in the NICU due to her preterm birth.

But soon, she had developed into a resilient young girl, and Adriana, who was extremely religious, wanted to baptize her daughter. Unfortunately, a few religious groups were against Adriana having a child at such an advanced age. Adriana got weird stares from the nuns during Eliza’s baptism, and one even referred to her as “the creation of evil energy.”

Eliza, according to Adriana, is a gift from God.

It has been 17 years since Adriana gave birth to her first kid in 2022. Despite the fact that Adriana is usually mistaken for Eliza’s grandmother, they are currently having a terrific time together.

The seasoned mother, however, still feels terrific both physically and psychologically. She has a lot of love to offer, and that’s what you need to raise a kid.

Adriana is still writing at the age of 83. She has published more than 25 books for youngsters and claims to be in excellent health. Despite looking to be a great-grandmother, she continues to work in Bucharest as a part-time professor.

In addition to this, Adriana has ensured that Eliza’s future is in the care of competent individuals.

When Adriana made the decision to undergo in vitro fertilization, she made a pact with her doctor. In the event that Adriana passes away, he will take legal custody of the child and act as her godfather.

Eliza, who is 17 years old, has shown interest in studying and going to college; nevertheless, Adriana has expressed a desire to maintain the privacy of her family’s personal life for the time being. Brightside asserts that Eliza is a member of the honor roll and that she continues the academic tradition established by her mother.
