Summary A surrogate mother from Laos gave birth to the child in December.
BEIJING (Web Desk) – A baby has been born in China to a surrogate mother four years after his real parents died in a car accident, Chinese media reported.
The boy, called Tiantian - Sweetie in Mandarin - was born in a hospital in China’s Guangdong province, “after his grandparents won a year-long court battle to use a frozen embryo”. A surrogate mother from Laos gave birth to the child in December, according to media reports.
The couple, who died in 2013, had frozen several embryos hoping to have a child through IVF.
His late parents had been undergoing fertility treatment before their death in a road accident in East China’s Jiangsu province.
Following the crash, the parents of both Shen and Liu spent years trying to persuade the authorities to hand over frozen embroyos from the dead woman that were stored at a local hospital.
