Embryo frozen in 1994, Ohio, becomes newborn: Thaddeus Daniel Pierce, son of Lindsey and Tim, enters the world after a 30-year laboratory pause. Trending IVF queries—“How do embryos stay viable?” and “Oldest embryo ever born?”—collide as the baby’s resemblance to his 30-year-old sister sparks, as donor Linda Archerd notes, “no doubt that they are siblings.”

While Thaddeus’s first yawn echoes three decades underground, the family now navigates playgrounds and People Also Ask searches: “Can you adopt embryos?” and “How long can you freeze an embryo?” The clinic’s Presbyterian director insists, “Every embryo deserves a chance at life,” as Archerd compares baby photos with forensic zeal—her daughter’s features mirrored in a newborn who skipped the ‘90s entirely.

In the UK, one in 32 children now begins life via IVF, but Ohio’s latest arrival rewrites the odds: a baby born in 2025 who technically predates Google, SpongeBob, and nearly every phone in his playgroup.
