So, they were frozen for 30 years, and turned out relatively fine. I'm assuming the same couldn't be done for a living being, like, the ol' Walt Disney rumor, or the premise of Futurama?
I was about to crack a joke that these babies would probably be predisposed to liking disco, thinking VW busses are cool, and having awful facial hair.
Fun fact: female babies develop all their eggs in the womb. That means that you came from an egg from when your mom was in utero. So does that mean that you are really your mom's age?
I mean that's the real question. Conservatives are pushing the idea that life starts when sperm touches egg so these babies should no longer be eligible for their parents health insurance, or WIC. They've already aged out of the public school system. A number of issues.
I also went to a Christian school, and my first thought when I saw this was "...by science." When we left it all up to God babies died during birth like 50% of the time, and even if they made it through birth they had like a 20% chance of living past 15.
So the Christian religion allows this transportation of donor embryos to recepient non-biological couples? I'm asking because it mentions a Christian non-profit as the patron. I don't want to assume anything at this point
I thought to myself, "Wow. They were frozen back in the 60s or 70s." Then I read the comment [about] Bush being the US President and the year being 1992. I am again reminded that I'm only 2 years from being 30 myself.
That’s Bible speak. I love how they are a “gift from god” or whatever. I’m thinking….you may wanna high five a scientist before you go giving all the credit to god.
Well, to make you wonder even more: Embryos donated and frozen like this are mostly due to potential genetic diseases and one of the biological parents had ALS.
That’s the translation in the King James Version. And the definition of Biblical fear of God is different from normal fear, although I don’t know if that is what is being referenced here.
I’m losing it at the “we wanna have as many kids that god wanted us to have”. Like if you have 6 kids and five of them required fertility assistance, maybe god was trying to tell you to not have kids
When they get older, they're going to be salty about the delay. Life might nit be rosy for 30 year Olds now, but I don't think it'll be any better in 30 years
Imagine if one twin had been born 30 years ago and the other was born today. Imagine if your twin was 30 years older than you??? You would be able to know exactly what you looked like when you would get older thanks to your elder twin. You might even have to look after your twin in their old age. Okay I think I just thought of a really great science fiction novel lol.
It is on multiple levels. The fake religious bs veneer all over actual scientific methods, the bs hard-core right wing christian (and totally not hate based /s) company that has the embryos only giving them to straight people that they deem worthy of having children. (Nothing about that seems like playing god to them). The fact the couple chose to do this for "the most needy" embryos instead of taking in actually needy children and giving them a good home.
It seems a bit ironic that the couple live by the whole “we’ll birth as many kids as god wants to give us” line, but 5 of their 6 kids were IVF/implanted embryos.
Now that I know is some Bible bs I find that especially hilarious. Those ppl are all about their god until science makes something more convenient for them. God my ass.
It is from the Bible; fearful means awesome in this context. Awesomely and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14. It is a psalm (poem/song) about God's love and care for individuals.
I'm struggling to find how this benefits that political agenda. If we're arguing that those embryos were already "people" then storing them in cryo storage for 30 years seems a bit unethical. But even if we dismiss it... So what? This doesn't do anything to prove personhood which is the burden of proof requirement for that political stance. Anyone who adheres to these beliefs would be incredibly foolish to try and use this to bolster their claims.
Imagine the genealogy look up in this scenario. See your biological parents being XX age when you were born (they’ve gotta be at least 50-60yo now). Your grandparents could have been born 120 years ago.
So a woman can be implanted with and then give birth to children that are technically older than her? And by older than her, I mean emerged from a man's ball sack before she did
Just curious: will the women, who've been exposed to covid, have covid resistant embryos? Will the embryos produced today be better than a few decades back?
what's more weird if you think about it, the embryos existed in the donor woman all her life up until the donating as well, so, the egg itself was around for maybe 50 years or so (depends on how old the woman was) before getting fertilized
When they want entry level applicants with 30 years experience.
I wish I had an award to give you
They beat the game
The world’s youngest millennials
Hey wait, they’re old enough to drink…💀
They only feed on avocado toast

Someone cross-post this to
You know who also waits a long time for a mom & dad? Kids in foster care
reads 30 years ago, pictures the 70s
Dude im crying too lmao, shit i turn 30 in 2 years :(
I was about to crack a joke that these babies would probably be predisposed to liking disco, thinking VW busses are cool, and having awful facial hair.
The 70s are closer to the year 2000 than we are to the year 2000
70s will always be 30 years ago, 80s will always be 20 years ago. I don’t make the rules.
I was born in 1992 and did exactly the same thing.
Me, who am literally 30 years old: "30 years ago, oh, the 70s"
What really kills me is that I was born in the 80s and have seen bell bottoms come into and go out of style twice.
Hahahhaha I was BORN in 1992 and turned 30 this year and thought of the 70s! Oh boy
Soooo, they’re old enough to work then? XD
Old enough to drink and vote as well
So these are what those job descriptions are looking for!
Old souls.
Failure to launch slackers
They have that 20+ years of experience already?
Fun fact: female babies develop all their eggs in the womb. That means that you came from an egg from when your mom was in utero. So does that mean that you are really your mom's age?
I mean that's the real question. Conservatives are pushing the idea that life starts when sperm touches egg so these babies should no longer be eligible for their parents health insurance, or WIC. They've already aged out of the public school system. A number of issues.
Imagine having the chance to experience the 90s as a child but instead someone determines that you instead start in the 2020s. That fucking suuuuucks.
Holy shit that is the worst luck.
If I learned that when I got older, I’d be pissed.
Tbh it's now or never. These particular babies were never destined for the nineties
most kids nowadays probably have just as much fun as we did back then, just in different ways.
My partner went to a Christian school and that's the title of her old anatomy book
It's not coincidental:
Having also went to a Christian school, all I can say is 🤢🤮
Why does it say fearfully? Or am I misreading it?
I also went to a Christian school, and my first thought when I saw this was "...by science." When we left it all up to God babies died during birth like 50% of the time, and even if they made it through birth they had like a 20% chance of living past 15.
This is all the information I could find.
That seems odd. They just gave the couple the oldest? Is it like rotating stock at the grocery store? You'd think they'd donate the most viable.
Ok, I freaked out for a sec when I read the father was 5... Until I read that he wasn't the biological father.
The org that stored the embryos is a right wing nonprofit
Doesnt quite seem like gods will but, hey they are cute and they made it!!! Good for them! I wonder if they will be fans of Nirvana.
So the Christian religion allows this transportation of donor embryos to recepient non-biological couples? I'm asking because it mentions a Christian non-profit as the patron. I don't want to assume anything at this point
Sheesh. I only clicked on this post hoping to find comments making fun of the odd "fearfully made" on the onesies... What I found was much worse...
Imagine on your 18th birthday you find out that you’re actually supposed to be 48 years old. That would blow my fucking mind.
Imagine finding out
I thought to myself, "Wow. They were frozen back in the 60s or 70s." Then I read the comment [about] Bush being the US President and the year being 1992. I am again reminded that I'm only 2 years from being 30 myself.
so you forgot you weren't 2 years old ?
I’m 3 from 40 and feel 2 from 30, if it helps.
Time flies when you're having fun
I’m 35 and seeing a commercial for the 30th anniversary of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast made me feel old for a moment.
So they time traveled essentially
They were supposed to grow 30 years ago. Now these twins that traveled time are living past their prime.
imagine how pissed they'll be when they find out they coulda witnessed the new millennium had they not been frozen.
Fr they missed all the awesome events like Y2K, Nirvana, 9/11, uhhh Obama….
Philip j fry!
“Care to explain this gap in your resume?”
Fearfully... Jesus. What an apt choice of words
Embryos don’t develop after 12 years frozen without exposure to abject horror to help them scream their way out of the void
That’s Bible speak. I love how they are a “gift from god” or whatever. I’m thinking….you may wanna high five a scientist before you go giving all the credit to god.
It is a message from the Bible, specifically Psalms 139:14.
I knew something was wierd when I saw those onesies, then I read about the group that provided the embryos... yikes
Yeah wtf?
I wonder if there will be any issues as they age
Well, to make you wonder even more: Embryos donated and frozen like this are mostly due to potential genetic diseases and one of the biological parents had ALS.
“Fearfully”? God, those poor kids
Most donor conceived children would want to search for their donors at some point in their lives. I wonder how old the donors are now.
Donor parents were 34 and 50, so with 30 years both are now senior citizens
The biological father died of ALS apparently.
Yea as a DCP I hate this. My donor is nearly 80, I found out 2 years ago I was DC at 31. This should of never happened.
Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?
Because religious people want to attribute this to God as opposed to science.
But in vitro almost always kills a few embryos. That’s one of a million ways you know it is t really about life…
They'll put Wim Hof to shame
*slow clap*
*captain america voice* I understood that reference!
So according pro-birthers, they should be able to vote and drink and pay taxes... because, life begins at conception, right?
Freezer burnt babies.
Kinda leathery
Absolutely wild. Imagine knowing you were supposed to be 30 years older than you are.
Kinda disturbing that the first word on their little cute onesies is “fearfully” but hey, what’s religion without the fear?
That’s the translation in the King James Version. And the definition of Biblical fear of God is different from normal fear, although I don’t know if that is what is being referenced here.
The father of the twins is aged 5? What am I missing? That sounds like double trouble.
He was 5 when the embryos were donated
Non biological father, I think
He was 5 when the embryos were frozen.
Hmmm what about the mother
They’re gonna take the “You look younger for your age” to a different level.
Welcome to vault 111
Born into Karen ass onesies too
They come from a Karen ass group, so it's no real surprise
What does “fearfully made” refer to? So odd.
It’s a quote from the Bible. Psalms 139:13-14
They don’t look a day over 30!
I’m losing it at the “we wanna have as many kids that god wanted us to have”. Like if you have 6 kids and five of them required fertility assistance, maybe god was trying to tell you to not have kids
What is up w those pjs? "Fearfully"??
Bible shit
The irony of christians playing god. And yet somehow interfering like this is different from abortion.
When they get older, they're going to be salty about the delay. Life might nit be rosy for 30 year Olds now, but I don't think it'll be any better in 30 years
Jesus christ. They’re gonna have an existential crisis when they’re parents explain that they’re technically over 30 years old.
Fearfully 🤔
Imagine if one twin had been born 30 years ago and the other was born today. Imagine if your twin was 30 years older than you??? You would be able to know exactly what you looked like when you would get older thanks to your elder twin. You might even have to look after your twin in their old age. Okay I think I just thought of a really great science fiction novel lol.
Fearfully?
Snowflake babies, christian fundies and whatnot. That's their lingo
To all prolifers out there, are they of drinking age?
I'm pro-choice... but they should say yes. Also buy guns, vote and drive. Unless they're... hypocritical.
I mean, according to pro life people, they're over 30 years old
Since life is supposedly started at conception these babies must be jailed if they do not pay their taxes.
ok why do I feel like this is so fucked up?
It is on multiple levels. The fake religious bs veneer all over actual scientific methods, the bs hard-core right wing christian (and totally not hate based /s) company that has the embryos only giving them to straight people that they deem worthy of having children. (Nothing about that seems like playing god to them). The fact the couple chose to do this for "the most needy" embryos instead of taking in actually needy children and giving them a good home.
Could be because the embryo bank that stored them only gives embryos out to heterosexual couples..
Nah fuck this. These people are certifiably insane. Christians are remarkably comfortable playing god.
Reading all the stuff the father said creeps me out
Yah, the whole we’re having as many kids god allows us to 🤮 Just stop. God gave you a hint then you science’d yourself twins.
I hate those fucking onesies
I know plenty of the 'fearfully and wonderfully made' types. I grew up around them. And these kids deserved better.
They never should have been born. Of course now that they’re here, they deserve all our compassion.
So how old are they in republican years? And when will they get a job already?
Exactly. They're 30 and not working. "No one wants to work ".
Fearfully?
Lazy ass babies won't get a job...
What could possibly go wrong?
"It may not look like it, but we're 35 years old."
Talk about being born in the wrong generation
Ice, ice, baby.
Spawn delay😂
This kids waking up in Idiocracy in real life.
It seems a bit ironic that the couple live by the whole “we’ll birth as many kids as god wants to give us” line, but 5 of their 6 kids were IVF/implanted embryos.
Damnit, I thought “those kids are gona act like such old people” then I realized I’m 31 and that I’m old people
oddlyterrifying
Amazing their onesies are biblical when this is literally science.
“Fearfully” implying made through god. As if 30 yrs of science played no part. So delusional and ridiculous.
Fearfully and wonderfully made... In a lab...
Now that I know is some Bible bs I find that especially hilarious. Those ppl are all about their god until science makes something more convenient for them. God my ass.
Why do their clothes say Fearfully made? Wtf does that mean? Are they future monsters??? I am so creeped out and confused.
It is from the Bible; fearful means awesome in this context. Awesomely and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14. It is a psalm (poem/song) about God's love and care for individuals.
Fun publicity stunt for the right to life crowd 😡.
You mean the forced-birth mob.

But even if we dismiss it... So what? This doesn't do anything to prove personhood which is the burden of proof requirement for that political stance. Anyone who adheres to these beliefs would be incredibly foolish to try and use this to bolster their claims.
Considering they are continuously referring to this as an adoption, you are super correct.
...thats a really weird phrase to put on a baby onesie
I was surprised by the onesies like everyone else. I recognized that phrase from
This belongs on
Fearfully made? K
https://biblehub.com/psalms/139-14.htm
According to anti abortionists, these babies can legally drink
So they’re 30 year old babies basically
They've been chilliiiin
So since they’re people from back then they’ll just add 30 to their ages. (Sarcasm)
so theoretically, if we have neanderthal frozen sperm we can make super soliders
Crazy that this is a Christian organization doing this since it kinda seems like an affront to their God to do this
Hopefully they were properly defrosted, and not just left out on the counter for a couple hours.
See even 30 year's old dont have their shit together so no need to rush
Some person: You look young, how old are you?
Full on mad-science babies wearing “Gods little miracle” shirts. Some humans can’t be saved, and they’re all parents.
Why are they fearfully made?
"Fearfully and wonderfully made" is a religious term of speech
It took them 30 years to decide if they want to have kids?
And people still believe in God 🤣
Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?
Fearfully??
Why were they made FEARFULLY?????
Creepy af
Does the shirt say “fearfully”
Why fearful?
Kinda sad to bring babies into the world when thousands in care are in desperate need of a family.
Fearfully made? So mom was raped?
Idk how to feel about that... just WEIRD
But why ?
Anyone else read this "fearfully" haha!
Nobody is mentioning that the shirts are so adequate in describing the man made horror that this almost is...
Imagine the genealogy look up in this scenario. See your biological parents being XX age when you were born (they’ve gotta be at least 50-60yo now). Your grandparents could have been born 120 years ago.
They are so cute. But... lost alot of flavor.
So a woman can be implanted with and then give birth to children that are technically older than her? And by older than her, I mean emerged from a man's ball sack before she did
that is so fucking cheating
Just curious: will the women, who've been exposed to covid, have covid resistant embryos? Will the embryos produced today be better than a few decades back?
These ones aren’t resistant to shit. They’re prone to Lou Gehrig Disease
Fearfully?
what's more weird if you think about it, the embryos existed in the donor woman all her life up until the donating as well, so, the egg itself was around for maybe 50 years or so (depends on how old the woman was) before getting fertilized
Bunch of bums! What are they doing with their lives? Still living with their parents and not working??
Curious to see how they turn out. 30 years of essentially cryosleep can’t be good for you, especially at that young age
They’re gonna turn out fully conscious and suffering, unable to wipe the drool off their own faces.
Lazy ass millennial babies. Get a job already why dontcha?
in like 14 years these guys are gonna listen to like green day or something and think "i was born in the wrong generation" little do they know...
Fearfully and Wonderfully made. Hm
That's nothing. They grew plants from seeds found in Tutankhamun's tomb - put there 3,000 years ago. That's life.
The kind of professionals IT industry is looking for.
It’s cool and the babies are sweet… but the underlying motivation is a disturbing religious absurdity
Fearfully and wonderfully? No, fuck that. Scientifically made.
Okay, I feel strange now, so, those babies are older than me but they are babies, and I'm younger than them but I am older than them...?
Those babies are 4 years older than me.
