People, focus your ire and opinions more toward the young, single, poor women who are having babies. Those children are in far MORE trouble. A mature woman who has plenty of resources (emotional and financial) should be able to have children if she wants. These children will be fine, and I hope and pray this woman beats her cancer.

I couldn’t have children young either and I am so grateful to G-d that He has given them to me now.

How many wonderful people HAVE been raised by grandparents, anyway? Let’s be fair.

I hope she beats her cancer too. However the young single moms can get out of their situations. I know of plenty who have...As for a 66 yr old woman getting pregnant I think it is beyond selfish. She is just too old & the chance of her being able to be parent who can do the things a young child needs aren't there . My daughter is 8 yrs old & I don't have the energy I need all the time. I do however have older siblings who are wonderful with playing outside games with her. I just can't see a woman at 66 yrs old being able to go play games etc without possibly hurting herself. Or what about dementia? That can happen too... Do the children deserve that? I really think that at 66 yrs old you ought to be as you put it mature enough & not so selfish to have children at such a "mature age". The chances of her living to see these children grow up just aren't there IMHO. And furthermore why should she count on other people to raise her children? Some parent!

While the single mothers who as you so put it deserve "ire" are young and can change their lives. Shaking my head here..I hope she does have plenty of money because I don't think she has any common sense. Nor do I think you have any common sense to say people focus your ire & opinions on young, single,poor mothers...Really shaking my head now at YOU!
