A 26-year-old lady(Tina Gibson) gave birth to a baby girl Emma Wren (born on November 25 this year). Tina Gibson was conceived in 1992.
This is the longest frozen embryo ever. The frozen embryo was thawed and donated to Tina and her husband Benjamin in March this year.
Emma was delivered naturally, weighing six pounds and eight ounces, and measuring 20 inches long.
The couple were happy when they found out they could adopt an embryo after years of trying and failing to conceive.
'Emma is such a sweet miracle,' Benjamin said. 'I think she looks pretty perfect to have been frozen all those years ago.'
It is the longest time an embryo has been frozen, after one in Virginia which was frozen for 19 years and a few months. Experts say this successful birth 'suggests the shelf life of an embryo could be infinite'.
The couple adopted their embryo through the National Embryo Donation Center in Tennessee, which has led to 700 pregnancies since 2003 - more than any other organization in the world.
Around 700,000 to over 1,000,000 human embryos are currently stored in the US.
