A baby boy, Thaddeus Daniel Pierce, made history after being born from an embryo frozen for over 30 years—longer than any before.
His parents, Tim and Lindsey from Ohio, had struggled with fertility before turning to embryo adoption. The embryo was originally created in 1994 by a woman named Linda, who later donated it after decades in storage.
Despite its age, the embryo led to a successful birth, surprising even the family.
Now, Tim and Lindsey say they plan to be open with Thaddeus about his unique story, even keeping in touch with Linda so she can be part of his life.
They hope his story inspires others not to lose hope—because sometimes, life finds a way in the most unexpected ways.
