It is believed to be a new record for the longest-frozen embryos ever to result in a successful live birth.
Rachel Ridgeway, a mother of four from Oregon, gave birth to the twins on 31 October. The father, Philip Ridgeway, said it was "mind-boggling".
NEDC's previous record-holder, Molly Gibson, was born in 2020 from an embryo that had been frozen for nearly 27 years. They were kept in storage at a fertility lab on the US west coast until 2007 when the couple donated them to the NEDC in Knoxville, Tennessee for another couple to use them instead. In a statement, the NEDC said it hoped the news would "encourage others to experience the blessings of embryo adoption for themselves".
