Brit twins with two DIFFERENT dads born using wonder fertility treatment to create ‘dream family’
BRIT twins with two DIFFERENT dads have been born using wonder fertility treatment to create their “dream family”.
Alexandra and Calder were born to London couple Simon and Graeme Berney-Edwards via surrogate mum Meg Stone after a £25,000 IVF procedure.
Graeme is the father of Calder and Simon is the father to Alexandra.
The toddlers are twins because half of the embryos were fertilised with Graeme’s sperm and the other half were fertilised with Simon’s
The groundbreaking treatment – where two embryos fertilised by different fathers are implanted at the same time – is not practised in the UK.
That made it possible for the fraternal twins to be born with to the two different fathers.
The couple then tied the knot and honeymooned in Canada – meeting Meg in person
An anonymous woman provided her eggs, Simon and Graeme fertilised them in Los Angeles, they were frozen and then six months later the embryos were implanted into Meg’s womb.
The pair were “over the moon” when Meg revealed she was pregnant with twins.
Meg went into labour in week 36 of the pregnancy and Simon and Graeme were at her side.
The flew home seven weeks later with the twins.
Simon works in business development and Graeme is a stay-at-home dad.
They recently threw a party for the twins’ first birthday and Meg flew to the UK to help celebrate.
