The moment one becomes a parent is a significant milestone that remains etched in memory for a lifetime. A new, unique individual enters the world, relying entirely on you for support. It becomes your responsibility to cultivate an environment that nurtures their growth and aspirations.
In 2005, Adriana Iliescu captured global attention when she became a mother for the first time at the age of 66. The birth of her daughter, Eliza, brought her immense joy.
Seventeen years later, Adriana finds herself in the public eye once more, as recent photographs of her daughter have garnered considerable interest. There are pivotal moments in life that transform everything, and many parents would concur that the experience of welcoming a child is beyond description.
The first time that precious child gazes up at you is an unparalleled joy.
Some children make their mark in history from the moment they are born.
This was the case for Eliza Iliescu, born in 2005 in Romania, who gained historical significance due to her mother. Adriana Iliescu, at 66, became the world’s oldest mother at that time, and her remarkable story captured headlines, earning her a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.
In 2010, Adriana candidly discussed her experiences of motherhood, addressing the criticism she faced for becoming a mother at an advanced age. Many perceived her decision as selfish and questioned her suitability. “The mirror can be harsh on women, but in terms of my energy, I feel like a young woman. I feel 27, and on days when I am a bit more fatigued, I feel 37. I am healthier than many women half my age,” she shared with the Daily Mail.
“People think it’s amusing to call me granny, but I didn’t have Eliza to appear younger. I never feel my age.”
During her conversation with the British tabloid, the then 71-year-old Adriana also expressed her desire to have another child.
