Emma Wren spent nearly a quarter-century frozen in a lab before being transferred into Tina Wren's uterus at the National Embryo Donation Center in Knoxville, Tenn. earlier this year.
Even more amazing, Tina Wren is 26-years-old, meaning her daughter was conceived by another couple just a year and a half after she was born.According to research staff at the University of Tennessee Preston Medical Library, Emma now holds the all-time record for the longest-frozen embryo to come to birth./ptc-canada/media/post_attachments/iAC6uvBcH3eKNECrEA0K.jpg)
Tina said, "We're just so thankful and blessed. She's a precious Christmas gift from the Lord.We're just so grateful."
Despite not sharing genes, Benjamin, 33, said that Emma feels completely like his own child. "As soon as she came out, I fell in love with her," he said./ptc-canada/media/post_attachments/LPL1jZQUgtn4nRhgwfUD.jpg)
