Motivational speaker `overjoyed' after delivering twins at age 56

Woah.

Doesn't the risk of Down syndrome increase dramatically as the mother gets older, though?

I think that has something to do with the age of the mother's eggs, but this woman used donor eggs and sperm.

Yup, because it happens upon fertilization when an extra c21 is present.
 
that is just not right
she should have done it 10-15 years ago if she wanted kids

she'll die before they graduate from high school
 
"This is the most incredible thing I've ever done in my life. This is a miracle that God blessed me with," she said.

What did God bless her with? Money so she can buy an egg and pay for the in vitro fertilization? :disgust:

Not only is she a single mom but an old single mom. Those kids will be f'ed up when they grow up.

Glad you can forsee the future, you judgemental ass.

Wow, way to overreact. 😛

Depending on how you want to define "f'ed up," the kids have a good shot at it -- growing up with an elderly parent could be challenging. I know that there were times that I was pissed at my parents for waiting so long to have me and they were "only" 34 and 36, heh.
 
I say more power to her, and congratulations. 🙂

sounds like she has a good support system in place, she will make a good mother for them and will undoubtedbly (and probably already has) provide well for their care and custodianship in the event she is unable to finish the job she's started, and wanted them badly.. all babies should be so blessed.

Yeah, the woman is Curtis Sliwa's sister (Founder of the Guardian Angel's, NY'ers will know him).

Everyone over the age of 30 should know who Sliwa is.
 
It's tough enough for a 40 year old to understand everything their teenager is interested in... But there's just no way a 70-something parent can keep in touch.

Completely untrue. Some 70-somethings can be alot more in touch with a teenager than a 40 year old.

I met Sliwa a couple of weeks ago in a neighborhood festival here in the Bronx. He's been around the city for a long time and I see Guardian Angels once in awhile (in schools and subway stations..etc)

Well of course there are exceptions to every rule... But if you think my statement is "completely untrue", then you're saying that it is MORE LIKELY that a 70-something is going to understand the music, entertainment, etc... of the teen generation.
