Mother admits lying to fertility clinic

A 67-YEAR-OLD woman who is believed to be the world’s oldest new mother told a British Sunday newspaper she lied to a US fertility clinic — saying she was 55 — to get treatment.

Carmela Bousada 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 fertilisation 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 in a video of the interview provided to Associated Press Television News.
