There is only an 18-month difference between new mother Tina, 29, from Tennessee in the US and her baby Molly Everette Gibson, who was born in October 2020.
How?
Molly’s embryo was born in October 1992 when sperm from her biological father fertilized her biological mother’s eggs. But then the embryo froze and was preserved until February 2020, when it was placed in Tina Everette Gibson’s uterus.

Described as a miracle
Nine months later, Molly was born, which quickly became a sensation.
She is the baby whose embryo has been frozen the longest in the world, 27 years, but which also resulted in a living baby.
– It is very difficult to assimilate, but for us it is a small miracle, says the mother, Tina Gibson according to the New York Post.
The previous record holder was Molly’s older sister, Emma, who has the same biological parents and whose embryo was frozen for 24 years, according to the University of Tennessee Preston Medical Library.

“I feel honored”
Molly and Emma’s biological parents are not public. But when Molly was born on October 26 of this year, she had no complications and weighed just over 10 pounds, writes the New York Post.
Carol Sommerfelt, laboratory director at the National Embryo Donation Center, who helped Tina with Emma and also Molly, is pleased with the result.
– It is very gratifying for me to see that an embryo frozen several years ago results in the birth of such a fantastic baby. I am honored to be a part of the process, she says according to the New York Post.
In Sweden, embryos or fetuses are not counted as human until the 22nd week of pregnancy, and embryos can only be frozen for up to ten years by law.
