Teen Mom star Catelynn Lowell is speaking out about her decision to place her daughter Carly up for adoption in 2009. Lowell recently claimed on Instagram that Carly’s adoptive parents are blocking her and husband Tyler Baltierra from having contact with their firstborn. Despite initially agreeing to an open adoption, communication has since deteriorated, with the last meeting between Lowell and Carly taking place two years ago. The couple is now hoping for more transparency from Carly’s adoptive parents to understand whether the lack of contact is due to Carly’s wishes or the adoptive parents’ decision.
Lowell emphasized that Carly’s wellbeing is the most important factor in this situation, expressing her willingness to respect Carly’s desires, whether for contact or privacy. The couple’s adoption counselor posed the idea that perhaps the adoptive parents are seeking space due to the power dynamics in the relationship. With over 7 million combined Instagram followers, the counselor advised Lowell and Baltierra to take a step back and pause, allowing for unknown future developments.
While the situation remains unresolved, Lowell and Baltierra continue to advocate for a possible reunion with Carly, emphasizing their love and willingness to support her regardless of the circumstances. Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, where this emotional journey is unfolding, can be seen on MTV on Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET. Us Weekly has reached out to Carly’s adoptive parents for comment on the situation.
