While I don't think it is a great idea to become pregnant and give birth at such an advanced age, I don't think this lady did such a selfish thing.
My own parents did not live long and they weren't the greatest parents. My brother, sister and me were on our own from an early age. But I am so grateful to them as without them I would not have been given life. I never felt they owed me anything more than that and never had hard feelings towards them. Each of us siblilings has gone on to create wonderful lives for ourselves and we are so lucky and thankful.
Children are very resilient and if these two young girls can find a family to raise them, I suspect they will be ok. It is sad the mother is dead. It is sad the kids do not have a biological parent. But the kids have something that without this lady's choice, odd as it might have been, they would never have: a chance at life, the greatest gift of all.
