An Oregon couple welcomed twins from embryos that were frozen 30 years ago — what some experts believe could be the longest frozen embryos to result in a live birth.
“We really wanted to find those embryos that have been waiting the longest, that have been overlooked multiple times,” Rachel Ridgeway said. She says they wanted to know, “Who needs to be picked out?”
Reflecting on the date their children’s embryos were frozen, Philip Ridgeway said he “was 5 years old when God gave life to these embryos.” His wife was 3. “It’s just mind-blowing to think that, at that same point in time, somewhere else, that God was giving life to these children,” he added. Rachel Ridgeway said “it’s pretty amazing just knowing that they were created then and have waited that long for us to be able to parent them.”“We’ve been very open and upfront with them about the whole process,” Philip Ridgeway said, adding, “They’ve been encouraging us and praying with us and excited and looking forward to meeting them.”
The couple say they are grateful to complete their family. “Very blessed — tired — but very blessed,” says Rachel. “It’s pretty amazing.”
