Record-Breaking Baby Born from 30-Year-Old Frozen Embryo in Ohio
A couple's long wait ends with the birth of a son from an embryo frozen for over three decades.
In a remarkable turn of events, Lindsey and Tim Pierce from Ohio welcomed their newborn son, Thaddeus Daniel Pierce, following a groundbreaking embryo adoption that marks the longest duration of freezing in history. The embryo, initially created in 1994, was the result of IVF by Linda Archerd, who sought to ensure her embryos would eventually find a home rather than be discarded. After years of attempts to conceive, the Pierces turned to the Nightlight Christian Adoptions agency, ultimately uniting with the embryos that had been cryogenically preserved for thirty years. While breaking records was not their intention, the couple expressed their astonishment at their sci-fi-like journey to parenthood. Archerd, initially concerned about the future of her embryos, felt reassured knowing her legacy continues through the new family.
