<p>She is a single mother, too, with no relatives.</p>

<p>I don’t know whether to start a new thread or revive a previous one about another “elderly primagravida.”</p>

<p>I had a surprise pregnancy and delivered S2 at almost 49. He is a delightful and very easy child. S1, who was born when I was almost 43, is not so easy. I cannot imagine taking care of them if I were in my 70’s or 80’s. </p>

<p>In my opinion, she is insane. I feel sorry for the child. Go ahead and call me judgmental!</p>

<p>Shoot me now!</p>

<p>Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean that you should.</p>

<p>What an awful woman.</p>

<p>HaHa. She better start her endurance training now!</p>

<p>This is about an adult knowingly dooming a child to be without a providing or even functioning parent before he/she is age 10. (if lucky)</p>

<p>This is orchestrated evil. </p>

<p>And pre-planed orphanhood. It’s an evil that will effect the child throughout his or her life. All in order to satisfy a selfish persons ego.</p>

<p>But toblin, she claims that she feels 39 inside! She is more fit than most women half her age!</p>

<p>The problem, of course, is that while she may be in good shape now, she cannot expect to remain in good shape for the next 20 years or so.</p>

<p>So she will be about 85 when her child graduates from high school. </p>

<p>Disgusting. That is just not right. Imagine being raised by your great-grandma (that is how old my GG is)… it’s just not right!</p>

<p>And she did it through IVF? Ugh! Where is the regulation for IVF?</p>

<p>If she was so desperate for a child, why didn’t she just adopt? I am really very angry about this whole thing, and feel terrible for the child.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Because no ethical adoption agency would give a child to a 66-year old single woman. Just like an ethical IVF doc wouldn’t impregnate her. (she had to go to offshore for her IVF)</p>

<p>^ I meant when she was younger and was having a difficult time concieving.</p>

11

<p>In a way, she has now adopted a child. Donor egg, donor sperm. She is having the pregnancy experience; otherwise, it is the same as adopting an infant.</p>

<p>Bumping thread for those considering donating sperm/eggs.</p>
