World's Oldest Mother

Sarah in the Bible is the world's oldest recorded mother!

 

"Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?" -Genesis 17:17
"And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him." -Genesis 21:5

Romanian, 67, pregnant with twins

 

Romanian doctors say a 67-year-old woman is seven months pregnant with twin girls after fertility treatment.

If the pregnancy comes to full term, it is believed that Adriana Iliescu, an author and academic, will become the oldest recorded mother.

Mrs Iliescu told local television she had always wanted to be a mother but had been unable to conceive naturally.

She says she is optimistic about her future as a mother, claiming her family has a history of longevity.

Last year, a 65-year-old Indian woman gave birth to a boy.

Schoolteacher Satyabhama Mahapatra from Nayagarh in Orissa had been impregnated with an egg from her 26-year-old niece that had been fertilised by her husband.

It was the first child for Ms Mahapatra and her husband who had been married for 50 years.

      Quote from the above article: "If the pregnancy comes to full term, it is believed that Adriana Iliescu, an author and academic, will become the oldest recorded mother."

   The Bible teaches that Abraham's wife Sarah gave birth to a child (Isaac) at age 90.  The woman in the article above could not be the world's oldest mother because Sarah is definitely the world's oldest recorded mother.
