Показать описание
A single mother who had a baby at the age of 50 through IVF says it was “the right time” because now she’s not partying – and she can “bring her up as I see fit and not have to disagree with anyone”.

Kelly Clarke, now 52, flew to Athens for IVF treatment but was met with a “huge amount of resistance” from family, she claims.

They were concerned at the thought of her being an older mother and using a sperm donor to welcome a child rather than a co-parent, she says.

But she knew that being a mother was what she wanted and she welcomed Lyla Rae Clarke in March 2021, weighing 7lbs 8oz.
