A UK couple has welcomed a set of twins after both fathers were able to fertilise an embryo during IVF treatments.
Simon and Graeme Berney Edwards travelled to Canada to have their procedure done with their surrogate, Meg Stone.
The treatment, which allows more than one father to fertilise one egg, is currently not available in the UK.
The babies, named Calder and Alexandra Berney Edwards, are actually half siblings because they only share a mother and not father.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, 43-year-old Simon said: “It really is amazing that Graeme and I have been able to father one of our twins each.
"Meg did an amazing job - and it meant that she was actually pregnant by two men at the same time. It's thanks to the wonder of IVF that we have been able to achieve our dream.”
