In 2009, the world used to be offered to Catelynn Lowell Baltierra and Tyler Baltierra via MTV's reality show 16 & Pregnant. Their episode follows the then-teenage parents as they make the difficult resolution to position their daughter, Carly, up for adoption.

Since then, the preferred Teen Mom franchise has captured the ups and downs of Catelynn and Tyler's relationship with Carly's adoptive folks, Brandon and Teresa.

However, on May 9, 2024, Catelynn took to her Instagram Story to precise her frustration in regards to the couple's decision to seemingly stay Carly away from her. But dangle on, did not Catelynn and Tyler have an open adoption? Let's delve into the main points.

So, did 'Teen Mom' stars Catelynn and Tyler have an open adoption?

In case you forgot, yes, Catelynn and Tyler opted for an open adoption after they positioned Carly, their daughter, for adoption. This pivotal determination opened up of their episode of 16 & Pregnant.

For the ones unfamiliar, an open adoption frequently comes to maintaining some stage of contact and conversation between the birth folks, adoptive folks, and the kid. This can come with exchanging personally identifiable knowledge, similar to names and addresses, and having direct conversations by way of telephone calls, emails, or in-person conferences.

Now, in spite of having a relationship along with her organic daughter, Catelynn lately took to Instagram to discuss a difficult scenario involving Carly's adoptive folks.

"Adoption is wild ... Being at the mercy of someone that can say no..." she wrote, noting, "I know I chose this, there's no need to tell me!"

Catelynn continued, "I will just never understand how you say that you 'love' us and will always be 'blessed' for us ... BUT you can't take TWO days out of your entire year to just meet up for dinner and do a park or something small? Especially when we said we would travel to YALL?!"

"I know for me ... people I LOVE and are blessed to have, I MAKE time for!" the truth TV character added. "So now we most likely won't see her until she's 16 ... And who knows if that will even happen ..."

Tyler came to Catelynn's protection in opposition to the backlash.

The following day, Tyler defended his wife after she received backlash from fanatics relating to her grievance of Carly's adoptive oldsters, Brandon and Teresa.

"Carly is almost 15 years old," Tyler disclosed. "Throughout those 15 years, her parents have chosen not to have our (mutually agreed upon) annual visit, MULTIPLE times!"

The truth superstar continued, "We can waste our time asking questions, dissecting responses, and begging for an answer... but we are NOT entitled to it (regardless of how much we may believe/wish otherwise). All we can do is accept the decision without the requirement of an answer."

Tyler also pointed out how tough this case is for Catelynn: "Most will never know the pain of what it takes to fight against the most powerful, biological, and instinctual nature that's required to make that choice."

"There's no guessing. There's no false hope, and there's nothing you can do to bring them back or change it," Tyler explained. "But grieving your child while they still live is truly an unexplainable pain in so many ways, I won't even attempt to put it into words."

Tyler said, "With that pain, inevitable, comes emotional reactions and expressions. My wife fights this pain every day. Some days are a victory and some days are not. But her expressing that pain on those particular days when she is vulnerable, sad, and at a loss, should not be used as an attack against her character."

"But her expressing that pain on those particular days when she is vulnerable, sad, and at a loss, should not be used as an attack against her character," he remarked prior to asking the Teen Mom fandom to "please be kind" to his spouse.

Tyler added, "I know the assumptions, criticism, and judgments are all part of the territory when it comes to living your life in the 'spotlight,' but we're still human beings at the end of the day. This whole thing is hard for everyone involved. We're only human after all and I believe we all could use some more grace and understanding toward one another!"
