Using an embryo frozen in October 1992, less than two years after she was born in April 1991, Tina gave birth to a miracle baby known as Molly Everette Gibson, technically the world’s oldest baby.

Thanks to the wonders of science, Molly Everette Gibson now nicknamed ‘Miracle Molly’ broke the previous record held by her sister, Emma Wren (pictured below) who spent 24 years as an embryo on ice before she was born in November 2017.

Both full genetic embryos were frozen together and transferred to mum Tina’s uterus three years apart.

Tina speaking to the New York Post said: “It’s hard to wrap your head around it, but as far as we’re concerned, Molly is our little miracle.”

Researchers at the University of Tennessee Preston Medical Library, say Molly enters the history books as the longest-frozen embryo known to result in a live birth.

Lab director of the National Embryo Donation Centre Carol Sommerfelt said: “It was very rewarding for me to see an embryo that was frozen years ago result in the birth of a lovely baby.

“I feel honored to be part of the process.”

 

Tina and husband Benjamin have been married for 10 years and had previously fostered children before considering traditional adoption.

Despite initially not wanting the idea, Tina said she and Benjamin ‘couldn’t get it out of their minds’.

Eventually, they visited the NEDC and were presented with profiles of around 300 strangers who had donated spare embryos following IVF treatments.

Tina added: “We weren’t picky, we just wanted a baby.”

They narrowed down their choices to donating couples who were short in stature before looking into health backgrounds.

On the day of her first embryo transfer with Emma, Tina was amazed to be told it had been frozen for 24 years.

When Tina and her husband decided to give Emma a sibling they said it was a no-brainer opting for an embryo from the same donors.
