Why would a religious virgin in her late 50s still think about having kids and getting married?

There is this woman of 58 years old on another website I frequent and she lives in the deep South of the States.
She is very religious and she has remained a virgin her entire life. She has recently gotten into a relationship with a mechanic who never has time for her so she never sees him.
The other day she started talking about her getting married and having kids. She was serious and not joking.

I wonder if this person is so naive that she doesn’t realise that she’s way too old to fulfill her dreams or if she thinks religion will miraculously help her get pregnant at her age, or yet another possibility: that she has not gone through menopause yet and is still fertile?

Adoption makes having children possible, even for 58 year old virgins.

@4meAndyou But I think she really meant giving birth to children by herself.
I must honestly say though that I’m not sure she was mentally sane. She talked about her soon to be boyfriend as if she was a teenager in the prime time of her life. I mean, what 58 year old in her right mind talks like that? She quoted passages from the bible literally. Like telling lesbian women that they would get incureable diseases because of their homosexuality and so on. Things like that that have no place in a modern society.
That’s why I asked. I wondered if that was typical of people living in Southearn US States or if it was just her and the other religious bigots from the South I met on that website.

@MarieJaneWatson She might be a little nuts, but older people can be as giddy as teenagers if they are in love. And in the Bible, Sarai, the wife of Abraham, had a baby when she was 90 and Yocheved, wife of Amram gave birth to Moshe when she was 130!!!
