Birnbaum received IVF technology, gave birth to twin baby boys, she also became the oldest woman in the history of the United States to give birth.Not coincidentally, nine years ago, the city of Hefei, Anhui Province, also had an elderly woman named Sheng Hailin, who, at the age of 60, decided to have a second child, and she called a friend who was a doctor in Beijing, where obstetricians and gynecologists gathered to discuss the possibilities of in vitro fertilization.
But they agreed that Sheng Hailin was too old and there was no precedent in China, and that the risk was just too great. Sheng Hailin was reluctant to give up, and went to Nanjing to find a specialist, but she got the same answer.

Sheng Hailin with her expertise tour, her husband picked up the foreign trade business, although the two are still not low income, but the days are tight, do not dare to spend at will, now the two children are only 9 years old, the future is still a long way to go, but for the two old people, their presence is wonderful.
Because before Sheng Hailin decided to do IVF, their only daughter died in a car accident, and their daughter and son-in-law were all killed in accidents, hence the IVF.
