Teen Mom’s Catelynn Has Scathing Warning For Daughter’s Adoptive Parents

Catelynn Lowell isn’t holding back any longer. The Teen Mom star has been vocal online recently about her fraught relationship with her birth daughter Carly’s adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa Davis.

Earlier this week, Catelynn took to social media to hit back at critics who’ve slammed her for airing her grievances. Apparently, Catelynn’s not interested in keeping things cozy or quiet—she’s here to set the record straight.

Catelynn and her husband Tyler Baltierra made the incredibly tough decision to place Carly for adoption shortly after her birth in 2009, a decision showcased on TV’s 16 and Pregnant. While the couple has tried to maintain a connection with Carly and her adoptive parents over the years, it’s been far from smooth sailing.

Why Catelynn Is Done Staying Silent

The drama really heated up when Catelynn and Tyler began publicly discussing their adoption experience, which didn't sit well with Brandon and Teresa. The adoptive couple has repeatedly asked the MTV stars to stop posting about Carly and sharing her photos online.

Catelynn recently shared a video from TikToker @first.birth.mom, who talks about her own adoption journey and the backlash she’s faced for criticizing her child’s adoptive parents. The TikToker expressed frustration over societal expectations that birth parents should always prioritize the adoptive parents' feelings, even if it means staying silent about their own struggles.

Catelynn Thinks Carly Will Be On Her Side One Day

In her caption, Catelynn made it clear that she’s been walking on eggshells for far too long. She plans to share all the behind-the-scenes drama with Carly once she turns 18, giving her the chance to make her own informed choices about her relationship with Catelynn and Tyler.

“One day Carly will be around to see our side and have all the facts,” Catelynn wrote, adding that Carly will have access to all the texts and communications from over the years. “Whatever choice that is I will always support.”

Catelynn also insisted she’s not interested in bashing Carly’s adoptive parents but rather in telling her side of the story. She explained, “I will NEVER bash her parents. It’s about speaking the truth about adoption and how it affects everyone involved.” According to Catelynn, this isn’t about talking trash—it’s about being honest and transparent.

The drama didn’t end there. In the comments section, a user accused Catelynn of bashing Brandon and Teresa simply by discussing them publicly. Catelynn fired back, questioning why her sharing her experience is considered bashing when discussing other relationships is seen as sharing her journey.

“Never ONCE have I called them out of their names or said anything horrible about them,” Catelynn retorted. “I’m literally just sharing MY side of MY journey with this adoption.”

Another commenter suggested that Carly’s adoptive parents should control the level of contact Catelynn and Tyler have with Carly. Catelynn countered that such decisions have a profound impact on Carly. “Look up the statistics—it’s so important for adoptees to be involved with their bio families!” she urged, advocating for greater understanding of the effects of adoption on birth families.

Earlier this year, Catelynn and Tyler revealed that they wouldn’t be having their usual visit with Carly. This led to Catelynn expressing her frustration about the lack of opportunities to see Carly, which Tyler also addressed. He acknowledged the possibility that Carly might choose to distance herself from them when she becomes an adult but emphasized his unconditional love and support.

“It just might be too difficult for her or she simply might just want to move on with her life & not have us be involved…& ya know what? That’s OKAY!” Tyler wrote. He reaffirmed his commitment to respecting Carly’s decisions and supporting her no matter what.

So there you have it—reality TV's Catelynnn is not backing down, and she’s making it clear she’ll continue to speak her truth. Whether you’re on Team Catelynn or Team Brandon and Teresa, it’s evident that this adoption saga is far from over.
