Maria del Carmen Bousada

A Spanish woman, Maria del Carmen Bousada, deceived a U.S. fertility clinic about her age, then became the oldest woman to give birth. She has died at 69 leaving her 2-year-old twins behind. They were born in December 2006. And I thought I was an old dad at 53!

Maria del Carmen Bousada is not, however, the oldest woman to give birth.

I think that honor would go to Sarah, wife of Abraham. See Genesis 17.

Sarah was 90 years old when she bore Isaac.

No doubt, some of the more ancient folks, pre-flood wives were even older. Back then they lived in a perfect world and could do that sort of thing.

With Sarah, it was a miracle.

With Maria, it was a lie and a miracle that modern science performs...sorta.
