Everything started in the 1990s when a woman and her then husband decided to seek help with test tube fertilization, which resulted in a daughter who is now 30. The other three embryos were kept frozen - until the woman, who is now divorced from her husband, in recent years heard about a donation process for embryos.
The couple who finally got to "adopt" the embryo were the now newly parents in Ohio and the boy was born with the help of test tube fertilization (IVF). According to the boy's mother, the family is doing well after a difficult birth.
We didn't do it to break any records, we just wanted to have a child, she says to MIT Technology Review.
The clinic that mediated the embryo is run by Christians and their goal is said to be to reduce the number of embryos in storage.
