​

Good morning, Fayette County. Mark your calendars! Greenfield Village Council is gearing up for their August 11 meeting at City Hall, offering residents a chance to witness local governance in action on the third floor of the Jefferson Street municipal building. While we're talking about community gatherings, downtown Washington Court House transformed into an open-air studio during the recent Art on the Square event, with local talents like Carnegie Library's Sarah Frump and flower enthusiast Teresa Borden showcasing their artistic flair along Main Street.

In a remarkable medical milestone that's capturing headlines, baby Thaddeus has made history right here in Ohio as the oldest frozen embryo to result in a successful birth. Created in 1994 and frozen for nearly 31 years before finding a home with Lindsey and Tim Pierce, the healthy baby boy represents a extraordinary journey from lab to loving family—with his biological mother Linda, now in her 60s, remaining connected to this unique family story.

👶 Baby Thaddeus breaks record as oldest frozen embryo resulting in birth. The Ohio newborn was born from an embryo created in 1994, making it nearly 31 years old before successfully implanted in Lindsey Pierce. After struggling with infertility, Lindsey and Tim Pierce connected with the embryo's donor through Nightlight Christian Adoptions. The healthy baby boy was born on July 26, and the Pierces maintain contact with his biological mother Linda, who is now in her 60s. The couple has already adopted two more embryos frozen since 2004, hoping to give Thaddeus a sibling in the future.
