A baby boy has been born in the U.S. from an embryo frozen for over three decades, setting a new record for the longest-stored embryo to result in a successful live birth.
Thaddeus Daniel Pierce, a baby boy born on July 26, 2025, to parents Lindsey (35) and Tim Pierce (34) in Ohio, is being called the world’s “oldest baby.”
According to the MIT Technology Review, the embryo that he was born from was created via in vitro fertilization (IVF) in 1994 and cryopreserved for 30 years.
The parents adopted the embryo from US-based Linda Archerd (now aged 62).

How old is the child?
Is there child support issues?
Are there health implications or developmental concerns?
