Growing number of older women having babies.

On April 3, Lorene Walters gave birth to Brooklynn Marie — 6 pounds, 13 ounces of beauty — at CentraState Medical Center in Freehold.

Walters did something else that day, too. At 44, she joined the ranks of a growing number of older women who are having babies.

The baby, whom they call Brooke, was a surprise addition to the family, says the Keyport woman, who has a 21-year-old son, Greg. Her fiance, Steve Rinck, has daughters Tiffany, 12, and Stephanie, 15.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
