AP-Twins at 57 Curtis Sliwa's sister gives birth to twins, just shy of 57th birthday NEW YORK (AP) - A New York woman has given birth to healthy twins -- just three days shy of her 57th birthday. Aleta St. James is the sister of Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa (SLEE'-wuh). She got pregnant by in-vitro fertilization and delivered a daughter and son by Caesarean section this morning at a New York hospital. Baby Francesca arrived at 9:18 a-m, weighing five pounds, 12 ounces. Her brother Gian followed a minute later, at five pounds, three ounces. The doctor who delivered them says the babies are in excellent health. In a statement released by her family, St. James says she feels "love, gratitude and appreciation" for her "miraculous gifts." St. James is a motivational speaker who helped her brother set up his crime-fighting group in the 1970s. (Copyright 2004 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.) AP-NY-11-09-04 1408EST
Why would you want to have kids at such a late age? When the kids graduate from high school their mom will be 75.
I saw her on TV when CNN ran a story on this. She is a MILF, but not in the usual sense. She is a Mom I'd Like to Flee!
That is ridiculous and borderline neglect. It is hard enough raising kids when you are young but when you are an old fart, I dont see how you can physically do it. Why would you want to do that? What happens when you kill over at 64 and have two 8 year olds with no one to take care of them. Its stupid.
If you have olders parents, I have found it to be true that you often act old, so these kids are gonna be freaky old by the time they pass out.
"ridiculous and borderline neglect" "why would you want to have kids at such a late age...." real positive thinking there people. it the miracle of childbirth, she hadnt been able to have kids and after three years of trying she is the proud mother of twins. forget her age, she and the babies are perfectly healthy! but if you want a good laugh... From last night's "Late Show With David Letterman" The Top 10 Good Things about Being a 57-Year-Old Mother * 10. Baby screaming? Turn down the volume on your hearing aid. * 9. Sweet two-for-one deal on strained peas. * 8. Bottle of Lipitor makes great rattle. * 7. Somebody drooled on the sofa? Blame it on baby! * 6. Nothing will put your baby to sleep quicker than a bedtime story from the AARP newsletter. * 5. Don't have to worry about costly college tuition because you'll be dead. * 4. Able to calm crying baby with soothing hum of your pacemaker. * 3. 57? You're just a kid . . . provided you're a redwood tree or one of those giant turtles. * 2. When child asks where babies come from, you can honestly say you don't remember. * 1. People are already saying, "At least you’re not 70 like Letterman."
