Oh boy! Meet Elvis, 10 weeks, and his 11-day old brother Ezra, who have made British history along with their mums Emily Patrick and Kerry Osborn.
The babies, pictured here for the first time, were born to the lesbian couple via IVF. Elvis was created from Kerry's egg which was fertilised and implanted in Emily so she could be his birth mother.
Ezra, meanwhile, was created from Emily's egg and implanted in Kerry so she could carry and deliver him.
It's the first time the procedure, known as simultaneous reciprocal IVF, has been attempted in the UK - and it has led to a joyous and unique Mothers' Day for the new family of four.
'It's been very emotional seeing both our boys arrive and watching each other become mothers in the space of a few weeks,' said Emily, 38, a creative producer. 'I was always the less maternal one but I've found a whole different level of love, like a new chamber in my heart, for our babies.'
'I still can't quite believe they're both here, that we made our dream of a family a reality,' said Kerry, 35, a teacher. 'We never set out to be pioneers but we hope we've shown other people in the LGBTQ+ community that this is achievable.'
Elvis with his big eyes and button nose looks like his biological mother Kerry. Ezra, with his tuft of ginger hair, resembles his biological mother Emily. Interestingly, the women say that while they love their sons equally, they each feel a greater sense of parental responsibility towards the baby they carried rather than the one who shares their genes.
Emily and Kerry have been together for seven years and started to discuss simultaneous reciprocal IVF during one of the Covid lockdowns.

Just realised I misspelled “Barf” again. Apologies.
All barkโฆ
I don’t understand. Anyway, maybe we should ban IVF. If you’re a loving heterosexual couple, you can adopt.
By Emily or Kerry? I gotta see this...
Oh, gross. ๐
Those poor boys. God help them.
Not achievable by any natural means, it wasn't.
So, so selfish. Imagine being a kid and finding out you were conceived and birthed like this.
Grotesque.
So sick!
The “doctors” owe royalties to Mary Shelley.
Itโs getting harder and harder for them to be the top freak.
As in woof woof?
And I suppose these mothers will pressure their sons into accepting that they are really girls trapped in boys' bodies.
Gee, I wonder how young they’ll both be, when they get the hormones and then the “operation,” and become “daughters”?
WTH is the point in this? Simply to defy nature is the only reason that I can think of.
Ban IVF. Lose 49 states.
They'll probably have a better childhood then if they were adopted by two male gay guys.
Doubtful, read up on lesbian domestic violence.
What no Elvis and Aaron ???
On Jan 8, 1935 in Tupelo, MS, Mrs. Presley gave birth to twin sons Elvis and Aaron...
Aaron didnt survive...
Elvis grew up to be ELVIS
