Teen Mom star Catelynn Lowell is sharing the truth behind why Carly’s parents, Brandon and Teresa Davis, blocked her. Catelynn and her husband, Tyler Baltierra, placed Carly up for adoption when they were teenagers. Now, the relationship has been fractured, yet is there more to it than they initially led on? Keep reading for further details.
The Truth Behind Carly’s Parents Blocking Catelynn
Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra were just teenagers when they found out they were expecting their first child. Since their upbringing and current lifestyle were not the best, they opted for an open adoption. Their daughter, Carly, was adopted by Brandon and Teresa Davis, which was a blessing. Unfortunately, Cate and Tyler struggled immensely with this decision as seen on Teen Mom. Although they saw Carly nearly every year and she attended their wedding, it may have felt like a missed opportunity. The couple soon learned they could not see Carly for her fifteenth birthday.
That sent them on a tailspin, and then it came out that Carly’s parents blocked Catelynn. She claimed that she kept reaching out to Carly because that was what the teen wanted. Catelynn even showed the texts between herself and Carly’s adoptive mother. It was clear she was pushing too hard but now, Cate is explaining why she was really blocked. They shared the details on the latest episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, and she revealed they learned the truth from their adoption counselor, Dawn.
The moment Catelynn Lowell heard the reasoning, it was too much for her to handle. She was instantly taken back to the moment she said goodbye to Carly the first time:
“Brandon and Teresa straight-up told our adoption counselor, Dawn, ‘Yeah, I had to block [Catelynn] for my mental health.’ And I was like, ‘Your mental health, your mental health?’ I mean, it was, like, anxiety. I literally felt every emotion come up when I hugged [Carly] in the hospital and told her bye.”
Teresa Davis also told Dawn that Catelynn could no longer send gifts. That was meant to stay private, but Cate opted to share it on the MTV reality series.
It Does Not Stop
Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra have recently started their own podcast where they share details about adoption and more. Before this episode of Teen Mom dropped, where Catelynn spilled the truth about the blocking, the couple opened up more about their struggles. Fans questioned if Catelyn and Tyler were the safest space for Carly, and that contributed to the distance:
- They chose to raise your child that YOU gave up. You gave up those rights when you signed her over.
- Maybe they feel you guys arent safe to have a relationship with?…
- Get therapy and grow up.
They are completely unhinged but Catelynn and Tyler shared more about what Carly’s adoptive parents wanted on the last episode of Teen Mom. Apparently, Teresa wants an apology, but that is never going to happen. So, they will keep chatting about how they were wronged as long as people will listen.
