Teen Mom: The Next Chapter star, Tyler Baltierra is revealing the culprit behind placing his daughter, Carly up for adoption. Yes, he and his now-wife, Catelynn Lowell were teenagers but there was more to the story than just their ages. Keep reading for more details.

Teen Mom Tyler Baltierra Reveals Culprit Behind Carly’s Adoption

For nearly sixteen years, Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell have struggled with placing their first child, Carly up for adoption. It was an open adoption so they were able to still see her once a year. She even attended their wedding with her adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa Davis. Unfortunately, as time has gone on, the relationship became strained. Cate and Tyler could not see Carly for her 15th birthday in 2024 and it was soon revealed that the couple had been blocked. Carly’s parents no longer wanted contact with Catelynn as she was constantly messaging and sending pictures.

Furthermore, Catelynn went off on social media tangents about Carly and her parents. Teen Mom fans felt the more she spoke badly about Brandon and Teresa, the less of a chance she would get to see Carly. Eventually, Catelynn came out and claimed that Carly did want to see them, hence why she never gave up. More so, if she knew Carly did not want contact with them she would have stopped. Now, the real culprit regarding Carly’s adoption has been revealed.

When Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra appeared on 16 & Pregnant, her mom, April was married to his dad, Butch. They did not want her to give Carly up but Tyler and Cate felt she would get a better life away from them. Catelynn and Tyler decided to address their adoption on their new podcast, Cate & Ty: Break it Down. They wanted to clear up the allegations that they placed Carly up for adoption because Tyler did not want a baby:

“That’s what blows my mind, for people to think that I would choose a man over my child. But then again for them to just think that you have no emotions or sadness or sorrow or any want.”

Catelynn added that Tyler wanted the baby just as much as she did but he chimed in with his dad being the reason adoption made sense:

“I was just so scared to screw it up. I think that was the catalyst for me and Cate, wanting to heal ourselves before we brought more kids into the world.”

Bad Dad

Tyler Baltierra’s father, Butch has long struggled with addiction and has been put in jail, which was seen on Teen Mom. Therefore, his bad relationship with his factored into this choice. For her side, Catelynn Lowell claimed she was tired of having to talk about why they placed Carly up for adoption. More so, she was exhausted by the false narratives that had been spread. At the end of the day, she claims she sleeps just fine because she knows who she is. After hearing them speak on their podcast, what did fans have to say?
