Adriana Iliescu

Adriana Iliescu is a media personality, Romanian retired university teacher, philologist and author of children's novels. She received international media attention in early 2005, when she gave birth to daughter Eliza at age 66, making her the oldest birth mother in the world until this record was broken in 2006 by María del Carmen Bousada de Lara. Eliza, who was delivered at Giuleşti Maternity Hospital in Bucharest on 16 January 2005, is Iliescu's biological child, since she gestated in Iliescu's womb but was conceived by an ovum and sperm donated anonymously.
