I just came across this news article on Yahoo and decided to share it with you.
UK woman, 66, defends right to have kids.
A 66-year-old pregnant British woman has defended her right to have a baby at her age.
Elizabeth Adeney, who is believed to be around eight months pregnant after undergoing fertility treatment, is expected to become Britain’s oldest mother when she gives birth.
The divorcee has told reporters that her pregnancy is her own business.
“I don’t have to defend what I have done. It’s between me and my baby and no one else,” she told the Sunday Mirror newspaper.
“It’s a very private thing and I don’t expect anyone else to understand it.
“It doesn’t interest me that I’m going to be the oldest mum in the country.
“It’s not my physical age that is important; it’s how I feel inside. Some days, I feel 39. Others, I feel 56.’
Ms Adeney, of Lidgate, Suffolk, runs a plastic fastenings factory.
A friend told the Daily Mirror that she unsuccessfully tried to have a baby five years ago.
The UK’s oldest known mother was 62 when she gave birth in 2006.
The oldest mother in the world is believed to be an Indian woman who gave birth at the age of 70 in 2008.
What is the problem with having kids at 66 years old and why is the media so interested in other peoples’ lives?
And the article is wrong – the oldest woman to have a kid is Sarah – Abraham’s wife who had a kid at 90 or 91 years old – Genesis 17:17.
Pfft. Let her have her baby and leave her alone!
