Mother Uses Embryo That Is Just a Year Younger Than Herself

Tina Gibson lives in Tennessee with her husband Benjamin. The pair were married for over 5 years but couldn’t conceive. “My husband has cystic fibrosis, so infertility is common,” Tina explained. “We had decided that we were more than likely going to adopt, and we were fine with that.” The couple became foster parents, until a frozen embryo changed their lives, forever.

Emma Wren Gibson was born on November 25, 2017, weighing 6 pounds and 8 ounces. Although she was born healthy, her case was extraordinary as she was born from a frozen embryo donated in 1992, just one year after Tina was born.
