“If the baby was born when it was supposed to born, we could have been best friends. We’re just so thankful and blessed. She’s a precious Christmas gift from the lord. We’re just so grateful. I just wanted a baby. I don’t care if it’s a world record or not,” said an ecstatic Tina. “Emma is such a sweet miracle. I think she looks pretty perfect to have been frozen all those years ago,” Benjamin said.
The world record was confirmed by the University of Tennessee Preston Medical Library. It informed that the longest-frozen embryo to result in a birth was 20 years old earlier.

“We had our medical library, which is very good at finding things, look to see if they could find anything older than that and they could not. But it is kind of neat that this embryo was conceived just a year or so before the mother was,” said Dr. Jeffery Keenan from The National Embryo Donation Center.
