Carmala Bousada with his twin boys. Carmela Bousada, a 67-year-old Spanish single woman who is believed to be the world's oldest new mother told a British newspaper she lied to a U.S. fertility clinic - saying she was 55 - to get treatment. Carmela said in her first interview since she gave birth to twin boys on Dec. 29 that she sold her house in Spain to raise $59,000 to pay for in vitro fertilization at a California clinic, the News of the World reported. "I think everyone should become a mother at the right time for them," Bousada said. "Often circumstances often put you between a rock and a hard place and maybe things shouldn't have been done in the way they were done but that was the only way to achieve the thing I had always dreamed of and I did it," she said. Bousada turned 67 this month but said she told the Pacific Fertility Center in Los Angeles she was 55 - the clinic's cut off for treating single women, the report said. She said the clinic did not ask her for identification. Dr. Vicken Sahakian, the clinic's medical director, confirmed late Saturday that he treated Bousada, but said clinic procedures should have required her to provide her passport. Bousada now hopes to find a younger husband to help raise her two sons, Pau and Christian, the newspaper said. "I would have loved to have got pregnant with a man by my side but it didn't work out that way. Now I've got to look for a dad for the kids. I'd like to meet someone a bit younger than me. They'd have to like the children, of course." Bousada said. The retired department store employee lived with her elderly mother for her entire life in Cadiz, in southern Spain. She hatched her plan to have children after her mother died in 2005, the newspaper said. The previous holder of the oldest new mother record was Romanian citizen Adriana Iliescu, who gave birth to baby girl in January 2005 also at the age of 66. Bousada was 130 days older than Iliescu when she gave birth. 點擊查看更多雙語新聞 (Agencies)

目前世界上年齡最大的新媽媽、67歲的西班牙單身女性卡梅拉·鮑薩達日前向英國某報紙透露，為了能做人工授精手術，她不得不向美國某生育醫(yī)療中心謊稱自己只有55歲。 據(jù)《世界新聞報》報道，卡梅拉于去年12月29日生下一對雙胞胎男嬰，她在產后的第一次采訪中說，為了籌到加州某醫(yī)療中心59000美元的人工授精手術費用，她把自己在西班牙的房子給賣了。 鮑薩達說：“每個女人都應該在合適的時候做媽媽。” “我們常會處于進退兩難的境地，也許有些事情不該那樣去做，但這是我實現(xiàn)夢想的唯一途徑，所以我這樣做了。” 據(jù)報道，鮑薩達這個月已滿67歲，但由于洛杉磯太平洋生育醫(yī)療中心規(guī)定超過55歲的單身女性不得做人工授精手術，她不得不謊稱自己只有55歲，鮑薩達說，醫(yī)療中心并沒有要求她提供相關證明。 醫(yī)療中心的醫(yī)務主任維肯·薩哈基安上周六晚些時候證實，他為鮑薩達做了手術，但他說醫(yī)療中心應該讓她提供了護照。 據(jù)報道，鮑薩達目前希望能找到一個年輕點的丈夫幫她一起撫養(yǎng)她的兩個兒子，波和克里斯蒂安。 她說：“我也想和自己的愛人生個孩子，但這已是不可能的了。所以，現(xiàn)在我想給孩子們找個爸爸。我想找個比我年輕點的，當然他必須得喜歡孩子才行。” 鮑薩達是一名退休的百貨商店雇員，她一直和她年邁的母親住在西班牙南部的加的斯。據(jù)報道，她的母親2005年去世后，鮑薩達就有了生孩子的打算。 此前世界上“年齡最大的產婦”的紀錄保持者是羅馬尼亞人艾德里亞娜·艾莉斯庫，她于2005年1月生下一名女嬰，當時她66歲。而鮑薩達生產時的年齡比艾莉斯庫大130天。 （英語點津姍姍編輯）
