Mother Welcomed Her First Child at 66 and Has Lived with Public Rejection since Then

The memories of the day you become a parent will be ones you hold dear forever. A unique child who depends on you has just entered the world. You must provide them with the finest environment and encouragement while they work to achieve their goals.

Adriana Iliescu gave birth to her first child in 2005, and because she was 66 at the time, her story received extensive media coverage.

Adriana was overjoyed when her daughter Eliza was born.

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 those days that can completely alter someone’s life. Undoubtedly, every parent who has ever experienced parenthood will concur that it is impossible to adequately express the moment you greet your child.

When you first catch that cute child looking 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 people thought she was selfish and unduly old.

“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. Women more than half my age are healthier than I am.

“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 said during her conversation with the British tabloid that she planned to have another child.

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.

Adriana and Eliza have a similar bond to most mothers and daughters over time. Eliza is a young child who is tremendously joyful, humorous, and intelligent.

Although a lot of people have an opinion about Adriana’s age, the mother claims that Adriana is a great mother and takes good care of Eliza.

“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. I still believe I have a lot to offer her.

Adriana did not plan on getting pregnant at such a late age. When Adriana Iliescu was a young newlywed, she was forced to have an abortion due to health issues. She was 24 when her husband abandoned her.

Adriana subsequently focused on other facets of her life, such as her job as a professor at a Romanian university.

As I was working, “I couldn’t even think about a child.”

But I wasn’t ready to have children until I finished my doctorate at age 37. However, IVF did not exist back then.

Adriana was 57 years old when in-vitro fertilization became an option in Romania. Adriana’s first pregnancy in 2000 resulted in miscarriage despite her attending counseling.

Many people turned their backs on her because she wanted to have children. They thought Adriana was acting immorally, but she persisted in her desire to have children and never gave up.

MY FUTURE MOTHER-IN-LAW EXPECTED LUXURY GIFTS TO “WELCOME” ME INTO THE FAMILY—SO I GAVE HER A GIFT SHE’LL NEVER FORGET When my future mother-in-law, Denise, discovered I had inherited $500,000 from my late grandmother, her attitude toward me suddenly became a lot warmer. One evening, just before the wedding, she pulled me aside with a smile that reminded me of someone who had just uncovered a juicy secret. “I have something for you, sweetheart,” she said, handing me an envelope. I opened it, thinking it might be a heartfelt message. Instead? It was a list. A list of demands. A Cartier bracelet “to symbolize love and gratitude.” A luxury watch for her husband. A car for my fiancé’s sister. And a $2,000 monthly “family contribution” as proof of my commitment. I couldn’t believe my eyes. “Are you serious?” I asked. Denise’s smile didn’t falter. “This is how things work in our family. You’re fortunate to have this money—showing us you’re serious about being part of our family is important.” Anger bubbled up inside me. My grandmother had passed away, and here was Denise, treating my inheritance like it was a winning lottery ticket. She sealed her fate when she added, “If you truly love my son, you’ll do this.” I didn’t argue. I didn’t shout. Instead, I smiled and said, “Oh, Denise, you’re absolutely right. Family supports one another.” Her eyes gleamed with excitement. I spent the next few days preparing. That Sunday, I returned with beautifully wrapped gifts. One by one, I handed them out to the family members. Denise’s hands shook with anticipation as she opened her special box. Then she screamed— “WHAT IS THIS?!” ⬇️⬇️⬇️

MY WIFE LEFT ME AND OUR CHILDREN AFTER I LOST MY JOB – TWO YEARS LATER, I ACCIDENTALLY MET HER IN A CAFÉ, AND SHE WAS IN TEARS When my wife, Anna, walked out the door with nothing but her suitcase and a cold “I can’t do this anymore,” I was left clutching our 4-year-old twins in one hand and my shattered dignity in the other. Losing my job had hit me hard, but her departure? That was the final blow. She didn’t look back, leaving me to figure out life for the three of us. The first year was hell. Unemployment checks barely covered rent, and I juggled late-night gigs to keep the lights on. My kids were the only reason I kept going—their hugs and “We love you, Daddy” were my lifeline. By the second year, things changed. I landed a solid IT job, moved into a cozy apartment, and even started hitting the gym. We weren’t just surviving; we were thriving. Slowly, I rebuilt our life. Then, two years to the day after Anna left, I saw her again. I was at a café, working on my laptop, when I spotted her in the corner. Tears were streaming down her face. For a moment, I froze. This was the woman who abandoned us at our lowest. She sensed me staring, looked up, and recognition flickered. I approached her, stunned, and asked, “ANNA, WHAT HAPPENED?” Full story in 1st comment 👇

THEY THINK I’M JUST A “COWGIRL BARBIE”—BUT I RUN THIS WHOLE DAMN RANCH I don’t usually get riled up about strangers, but today? I damn near snapped. It started at the feed store. I was picking up mineral blocks and fencing wire, wearing my usual—mud-caked boots, faded jeans, and yeah, my long blonde braid tucked under a beat-up ball cap. The guy at the counter gave me this look like I was lost. Asked if I needed directions to the gift shop. I said, “Nah, just here to buy the same stuff I’ve been buying every week for ten years.” He laughed. Laughed. Then he asked if my “husband” would be loading the truck. I told him my husband left five years ago and the cows didn’t seem to care. I run 240 acres on my own. Fix broken water lines, birth calves at 2 a.m., haul hay like it’s nothing. But people still see the blonde hair and the woman part and just… assume. Even my neighbors treat me like I’m playing rancher. Roy, the guy across the creek, keeps “checking in” on my fences like I didn’t graduate top of my ag science class. He’ll say things like, “Don’t overwork yourself, sweetheart.” Meanwhile, I patched his busted water line last winter in the middle of a snowstorm. I try to let it roll off, but it builds up. You get tired of proving yourself twice just to be seen as half capable. Then today, after all that, I got home and found a letter nailed to my barn door. No stamp. No return name. Just a folded-up note that said one thing: “I know what you did with the west pasture.”⬇️
