That doctor.... Who specializes in geriatric ivf?? It seems criminal. I guess at least this couple didn't have set of twins or triplets. But I feel old some days, and I had my youngest at 34. He makes me tired. I can't imagine being even older. There is no way they can keep up with an active kid.

The adoption thing. Yeah, they might want to revaluate that law. Adoption at 50 seems like a better choice than having a baby at 70... When you've already lived past the life expectancy for your area.

BUT there's this: "After trying unsuccessfully to conceive, they adopted a boy in the 1980s, but he went to study in the US and never returned." This couple did adopt. What's up with that??

My dad had me in his late 40s. Late 40s though, like 48; not 79. And my ma was some 11 years younger.

I know right?

One, how come they are not over the raising a child thing?

Two, how come the child doesn't love them?

Although, without more info it's all speculation, so there's no point really.

Oh for sure! My best friend's mom had him in her late forties, and my son's best friend currently is a little girl being raised by her grandmother. Both women are great moms. But they were still decades younger than this couple.

And yeah, it's impossible to know wtf this couple was thinking, or why that adoption 30 years ago didn't work out. It just makes me wonder. They knew the laws, even if the law is ridiculous. Why did they wait till their old age to with around then?

The whole thing is odd
