The singer in the artile is a country music singer named Jonie Mosby Mitchell. Here's a little bit from the above URL: + + + + + + + On the other side of this issue, people who are 45 to 50 years old might make better parents than people in their 30s who are still struggling with careers and finances, says Dr. Zimmermann. "They're between parents and grandparents." One woman who has worked through these issues is Jonie Mosby Mitchell, a country music singer and mother of 4-year-old Morgan Bradford, who was conceived by AR when Ms. Mosby Mitchell was 52 years old. At the time, Ms. Mosby Mitchell was the oldest woman on which AR had been used successfully. Ms. Mosby Mitchell, who was Dr. Sauer's patient, has four children from her first marriage and an adopted daughter from her current marriage. She and her husband decided to try AR instead of adopting again because AR gave them more control than the adoption process offered, she says. Ms. Mosby Mitchell describes pregnancy and birth at age 52 as "fun," though she wouldn't recommend it for most people. "When you're determined, nothing hurts." As for concerns that she might die while Morgan is still young, Ms. Mosby Mitchell is not particularly worried. Morgan's extended family of older brothers and sisters would be available to take care of him if anything happened to her, she says. Plus, old age runs in Ms. Mosby Mitchell's family: Her mother is 91. "Age doesn't make a difference to me," she says. "The alternative would be for [Morgan] not to exist." + + + + + + + Marian Vienna
