Teen Mom alum Tyler Baltierra recently addressed the public after his wife, Catelynn Lowell, faced criticism for sharing her emotional struggle with not being able to visit their daughter Carly, who they gave up for adoption in 2009. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Tyler emphasized the immense emotional toll that comes with such a decision, highlighting the pain of relinquishing a biological bond for the well-being of their child.

Despite a previously agreed-upon plan to visit Carly annually, Tyler revealed that they have been denied this opportunity multiple times by Carly’s adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa. He clarified that their denial of visitation is solely within their rights as Carly’s parents, emphasizing that the couple respects and acknowledges this authority.

While recognizing that they are not entitled to visit Carly post-adoption, Tyler expressed that the continuous denial remains disappointing for them. He urged compassion and understanding from the public, emphasizing the complexity and emotional weight of the situation.

Amidst the ongoing challenges, Tyler and Catelynn continue to navigate their roles as parents to their other children, Novalee, Vaeda, and Rya. The couple’s openness about their experiences sheds light on the complexities of adoption and the enduring emotional impact it can have on birth parents.
