Amidst the astonishment, Adriana received criticism for her advanced age. In 2010, she addressed the public perception that she was selfish and too old by openly discussing her parenting experience and her perspective on it.
“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, but I still feel like I’m 27. Women more than half my age are healthier than me.
An eternal bond
Like any other mother and daughter, Adriana and Eliza grew closer over the years. Bright and cheerful, Eliza flourished under her mother’s care.
Adriana insists that she is a great mother, taking care of Eliza’s needs in every way, despite suspicions about her age.
“I don’t drink or smoke. Eliza will be 20 when I die if I live as long as my parents. I still believe I have something to offer her.
The road to the determination
Adriana was determined to become a mother and it showed. During the first years of her marriage, she was plagued by health problems and was forced to have an abortion. At the age of 24, her husband left her and she concentrated on her work as a professor.
When I was working, “I couldn’t even think about the baby.”
However, when in vitro fertilization became available in Romania at the age of 57, Adriana’s dreams of becoming a mother were rekindled. She persevered through miscarriages and remained steadfast in her desire to embrace motherhood.
A divine gift
Eliza was born as a result of Adriana’s persistence despite being the only one of the triplets to survive. Adriana was criticized by some religious organizations because of her age, but her strong faith helped her.
The mother sees Eliza as a gift from God and as an expression of Adriana’s strong faith.
Permanent bond
Adriana and Eliza are still inseparable in 2022, 17 years after this momentous birth. They love and enjoy their time together despite what others may think.
Adriana, who is 83 years old, still puts her love into her work. She continues to be physically and mentally active while writing more than 25 children’s books and working part-time as a professor in Bucharest.
Adriana also guaranteed Eliza’s stable future. She secured Eliza’s godfather and legal representative in the event of her death by arranging with the doctor who assisted her with IVF.
