Adriana Iliescu (born May 31, 1938) is a retired Romanian university lecturer and author of children's novels.
She received international media attention in 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 MarÃa del Carmen Bousada de Lara.
Eliza, who was delivered at Giulesti Maternity Hospital on 16 January 2005 in Bucharest, is Iliescu's biological (but not genetic) child, since she gestated in Iliescu's womb but was conceived by an ovum and sperm donated anonymously.
