Patricia and John Farrent \u003cbr/\u003eStroller after stroller rolled in to a California camping ground as hundreds of families celebrated two decades of \"test tube\" babies. \u003cbr/\u003eSeveral hundred families gathered for a picnic to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their first reunion at a leading San Francisco Bay fertility clinic.\u003cbr/\u003eAmerican Parents showed off kids in college and still in diapers (nappies).\u003cbr/\u003eThey were born with help from the Reproductive Science Centre of the San Francisco Bay Area - and this year saw another successful reunion at \"Little Hills\" camping grounds, in California.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Reproductive Science Centre opened in 1983, and was among the first to fertilise embryos outside the womb.\u003cbr/\u003eTwenty three years ago the centre was one of only about two dozen nationwide that specialised in cutting-edge - and controversial - technologies to produce children using embryos fertilised outside the womb. \u003cbr/\u003eThese children became known around the world as \"test tube\" babies.\u003cbr/\u003eIVF has steadily grown during the past twenty years from an experimental procedure to accepted practice.\u003cbr/\u003eThe procedure involves extracting a woman's eggs, fertilising them in a laboratory, and then implanting them in the mother's uterus. \u003cbr/\u003eThe world's first successful IVF was in 1978 in Great Britain. \u003cbr/\u003eThe success rate was about five percent for most clinics in the 1980's, but has improved to about 50 percent today.  \u003cbr/\u003eWhen the technology began, most couples trying IVF were young and infertile.  These days it's some women are pushing motherhood into their mid-forties and beyond. \u003cbr/\u003eDr Mary Hinckley at the reproductive centre says that many infertile couples in the past would resort to sperm donation or live childless lives. \u003cbr/\u003eBut with advancements in IVF technology many couples are able to create embryos and have beautiful children.\u003cbr/\u003eThe oldest women to conceive at the Reproductive Science Centre using donor eggs, was fifty nine years old. \u003cbr/\u003eIn 1985, Brian Strickland was the second baby born in the United States from in vitro fertilisation, or IVF. His parents had tried for seven years to conceive before turning to the Reproductive Science Centre. \u003cbr/\u003eBrian Strickland was honoured at the celebration as just the second baby born in the United States using IVF. \u003cbr/\u003eToday, the twenty one year-old is studying biology at a Sacramento, California college and says he had a normal childhood.\u003cbr/\u003eBrian says he  leads a normal life and does not feel  any different to any other person. \u003cbr/\u003eBrian met with other grown-up IVF children, and shared experiences like playful teasing by friends.\u003cbr/\u003eTravis McCuller an IVF Baby attending the event, says many children at school would call him \"The dude in the test Tube\". Playful teasing which Travis thought was just good fun.\u003cbr/\u003eDr Mary Hinckley Says \"the future  holds even higher success rates so people are able to conceive easier with fewer treatments.\"\u003cbr/\u003eIn the US  more than 40 thousand children are now born every year using assisted reproductive technology.\u003cbr/\u003eIn recent years IVF fertility treatment in older women has brought about much debate to whether the whole process is ethical.\u003cbr/\u003eBritain's oldest mother, 62 year old Patricia Farrant, gave birth on Wednesday 5th July 2006.\u003cbr/\u003eBoth mother and baby are said to be doing well.\u003cbr/\u003ePatricia has two grown children from a previous marriage, but recently remarried and underwent fertility treatment.  \u003cbr/\u003eShe received her IVF treatment by Italian fertility expert Dr. Severino Antinori, who in 1994 helped a 63-year-old woman become pregnant.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
