The day of becoming a parent is a moment that leaves an everlasting impression. Suddenly, a unique individual is born into the world, who is entirely dependent on your care and love. As a parent, it is your responsibility to provide the best conditions for your child to grow and succeed in their life.
In 2005, Adriana Iliescu made headlines around the world when she became a mother for the first time at the age of 66. Her joy knew no bounds when she welcomed her daughter, Eliza, into the world.
Seventeen years later, Adriana, the elderly mother, has once again captured the spotlight as new pictures of her daughter are gaining attention.
Becoming a parent is a life-altering experience that brings immense happiness and joy. Adriana’s story shows that age should not be a hindrance in fulfilling one’s dream of parenthood.
Certain days in a person’s life can completely transform their world. Every parent would likely concur that the moment they hold their child for the first time is an indescribable experience. Witnessing your beloved child gaze up at you is an unparalleled feeling.
Some children are born with a story that is written in the pages of history books, and Eliza Iliescu is one such child. Her birth in 2005, in Romania, was a historic event due to the age of her mother, Adriana Iliescu.
At the time of Eliza’s birth, Adriana Iliescu was 66 years old, making her the oldest mother in the world. Naturally, her story garnered widespread attention and her daughter’s birth secured a place for Adriana in the Guinness Book of World Records.
However, in 2010, Adriana decided to speak out about her experience of motherhood as she had been subjected to intense criticism for her decision to have a child at such an advanced age. Many people accused her of being selfish and too old to have a child.

Adriana Iliescu, in an interview with the Daily Mail in 2010, shared her thoughts on her age and motherhood. Despite receiving criticism for becoming a mother at an advanced age, Adriana revealed that she feels like a young woman in terms of her energy levels. She stated, “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.” Adriana also addressed people who call her “granny,” stating that having a child at an older age was not an attempt to look younger. She stated, “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.” Moreover, Adriana revealed that despite her age, she had plans to have another child in the future.
”Medically, it’s possible,” she said. ”I understand there are trials going on with a 70-year-old woman in England, so it could be done. I am fine and healthy and I think it would be possible to have another child in the future, but I’m not in a rush at the moment.”
Even at the age of 83, Adriana Iliescu continues to work on her writing and has authored over 25 children’s books. Despite her appearance as a great-grandmother, she remains healthy and also works part-time as a lecturer in Bucharest. Adriana has taken measures to ensure that Eliza’s future is secure.
Adriana has chosen to keep her family life out of the public eye for now. However, we do know that her 17-year-old daughter Eliza has aspirations to attend college and continue her studies. Eliza is already an accomplished student, having won several awards, and appears to be following in her mother’s academic footsteps.
It appears that she is excelling in her role as a parent, even better than some individuals in their mid to late twenties. She is fully committed to her child and doesn’t allow any distractions. Her daughter appears to be happy, fulfilled, and well-adjusted, a truly wonderful individual.
