Having children is a major milestone in most couples’ lives. Many couples look forward to that moment when they find out that their family is going to grow, and that a new bundle of joy will be entering their home. Unfortunately, having children is not always an option for every couple. Some couples try to conceive for several years without success.
This is exactly what happened to a Tennessee couple, Tina and Benjamin Gibson. After being married for seven years, and realizing that having their own children was not an option for them, they decided to foster children instead. They loved their role as foster parents, but one day when a relative mentioned the option of embryo implantation, called IVF, they decided to give it a bit of thought. Little did they know that a year later they would be making history by giving birth to the oldest human embryo to ever be born!



The Gibsons did not even know they were going to be breaking records until the day of the embryo transfer, when the doctor informed them of the embryo’s age that they chose. Out of 300 different profiles, they just happened to choose a 24 and a half-year-old embryo that was created when Tina was only one year old. Now, the Gibsons are still in shock, and call their newborn daughter, Emma Gibson, a true miracle.
The first successful IVF baby was born in 1978, and since then there have been millions of babies around the globe born in this method. It is becoming not only increasingly popular by the minute, but the success rates are also much higher than they ever were. The story of the Gibsons has raised many questions that can not clearly be answered such as, how long can frozen embryos last? Doctors do know however that there is no set limit on the longevity of frozen embryos, or “snowbabies,” but this case of Emma Gibson is the oldest known embryo to be successfully born to date, and that is really something. When news sources heard about Tina and Benjamin’s incredible story, the new parents got bombarded with interview requests. They felt overwhelmed to say the least, but were more than willing to share their story, in hopes that it will give other couples who have suffered from infertility a chance to consider trying IVF.

In November 2017, history was made in Tennessee after a mother gave birth to a 24 and a half-year-old embryo, the oldest human embryo known to ever result in birth. On November 25, 26-year-old Tina Gibson gave birth to an embryo who is technically only one year younger than her. The embryo was frozen in October 1992- only a year after Tina was born. Tina and her husband Benjamin Gibson, 33, happily welcomed their healthy and beautiful baby girl, Emma Gibson, into the world and their story went viral.
