Catelynn Lowell Reveals Why Daughter's Adoptive Parents Blocked Her
Originally appeared on E! Online and are still adjusting to a change in dynamics. After the Teen Mom stars shared that their 15-year-old daughter Carly's adoptive parents Brandon Davis and Teresea Davis closed their adoption, the couple revealed they have also lost all communication with the family. 'Brandon and Teresa straight up told our adoption counselor Dawn, 'Yeah, I had to block her for my mental health,'' Catelynn shared with castmates Kailyn Lowry and Maci Bookout on the March 27 episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. 'And I was, like, 'Your mental health, your mental health?' I mean, it was like anxiety. I literally felt every emotion come up of when I hugged her in the hospital and told her bye.' 'Dawn says, like, 'Oh, Teresa said, you guys are going to have to have a talk, that she needs to have a very sincere apology,'' she added. 'I said, 'You? You need an apology? For what? For me putting the truth out about how you are as a human and what you did to us. I deserve a f--king apology.' More from E!

'She straight up told Dawn to tell us that we're not allowed to send gifts anymore because it's uncalled for,' Catelynn explained. 'She said, 'But tell them they can't tell anybody I said that.' And I said, 'Well, f--k now, I'm saying it. I'm spilling it from the rooftops.'' Tyler added, 'You have my kid, you can't take my story, too.' Catelynn—who went on to welcome kids Nova, 10, Vaeda, 5, and Rya, 3, with Tyler—shared that amid all the drama between them and Carly's adoptive parents, they have to deal with comments from other people who do not believe they should have access to their daughter. Later in the episode, while sitting down for a podcast episode with TikToker Jordy Cray, Tyler vented his frustrations against people who feel their public statements about their situation aren't helping them with potentially having a future relationship with Carly. 'I don't care about Brandon and Teresa right now,' he said. 'Now that the access is taken away, it's like, well, then…' 'Our main goal for putting stuff out publicly was because if Carly has a chance of being able to see that we never stopped trying, she deserves to know that in my opinion,' Catelynn interjected. 'Also, it is bringing awareness to everybody that is involved in adoption.' According to Tyler, there is a lot of the story he and his wife have chosen to keep private, because of the perception their daughter may have around them in the future. 'We didn't speak on a lot of things that happened behind closed doors because,' he said. 'I want to. That's priority number one is being able to see her and have access to her.' But according to Catelynn, Teresa and Brandon's biggest issue with their daughter stemmed from her relationship with their other children. 'Carly's always said, 'This is my sister.' So, I thought it was an okay thing,' she explained. 'So, I just went with it. Teresa said the word sisters just really gets me.' 'It doesn't sit right with me,' Tyler added. 'Should we say birth sister? What would you prefer? And she literally didn't really have an answer.'

Teen Mom's Catelynn Baltierra Says Daughter Carly's Adoptive Parents ‘Cut' Communication With Them
Teen Mom star Catelynn Baltierra (née Lowell) claimed that her eldest daughter Carly's adoptive parents, Brandon Davis and Teresa Davis, 'cut' off contact between them. 'Before communication was cut, I was told Carly was asking her parents, 'Why can't we get together more? Why can't we get together with them for holidays? They would fly here to see me,'' Catelynn, 32, alleged of their estrangement via her Instagram Stories on Sunday, February 10. 'So in my heart, I don't feel it's her wanting this …' The MTV star said if Brandon and Teresa told her it was Carly 'not wanting contact,' she would 'respect that with all of me.' 'And if her mom and dad called and said it's what Carly wants, I would be silent,' she continued in another slide. 'Y'all wouldn't hear a thing from me again about the situation! Because at the end of the day, SHE is what's most important.' Catelynn and her husband, Tyler Baltierra, have had a complicated relationship with Brandon and Teresa, who adopted Carly — now 15 — after her birth in 2009. Tyler, 33, shared an adoption update one day earlier on February 8, where he explained the couple 'stopped sending gifts and updates' to Carly. 'All we can do now is continue to share our perspective, experience and truth as birth parents. All we can do now is continue to advocate for the minority group of adoptees,' he wrote in a lengthy Instagram Stories post. 'We started an email for Carly and write to it often, so that way when she's older and if/when she reaches, we can give her that password for her to read at her discretion. We only want her to have what we believe she deserves and that's the truth.' He continued, 'We've actually just received our whole adoption file and the details in it are even more shocking than we anticipated. We only want what Carly wants, even if that means her wanting nothing to do with us, which we've stated from the beginning.' Fans watched as Catelynn and Tyler made the difficult decision to place Carly for adoption during season 1 of 16 & Pregnant in 2009. They opted for an "open" adoption, allowing Brandon and Teresa to send Tyler and Catelynn photos of Carly over the years and granting them the chance to visit her in person once a year. However, things changed as Carly got older and the couples began bumping heads when Catelynn claimed that the rules of adoption began to change. In September 2024, Catelynn alleged that Brandon and Teresa went as far as having her 'blocked' her on social media. 'Adoption is crazy … I'm blocked all because of me sending updates and pictures of her sisters,' Catelynn, who also shares daughters Novalee, 10, Vaeda, 5, and Rya, 3, with Tyler, wrote via her Instagram Stories at the time. 'How is that fair for Carly and her siblings?' The relationship hasn't seemed to have progressed in the right direction, as the MTV star revealed in January how long it's been since she last saw Carly. 'The last time I saw Carly was, like, two years ago,' the MTV star told Us Weekly in an article published on January 29.
