Catelynn Lowell Defends Adoption Choice: No Ultimatums from Tyler Baltierra!
In a recent episode of her podcast, “Cate & Ty: Break It Down,” Catelynn Lowell, a familiar face from “Teen Mom,” took a firm stance against persistent rumors suggesting that her husband, Tyler Baltierra, pressured her into placing their daughter Carly for adoption back in 2009. At 33, Catelynn expressed disbelief at the notion that anyone would assume she’d prioritize a relationship over her child, pointing out the emotional turmoil that accompanied her decision. “That’s what blows my mind, for people to think that I would choose a man over my child,” she stated, emphasizing her commitment to raising her other daughters—Nova, 10, Vaeda, 5, and Rya, 3—in a healthy environment that values strength and autonomy.
Tyler echoed her sentiments, highlighting the absurdity of the accusations that he had issued any ultimatum regarding Carly’s adoption. “That’s insane,” he countered, reinforcing their united front against the misinformation that has circulated online. Catelynn’s frustration is not unfounded; she previously faced backlash on social media for her decisions, receiving what she described as “disgusting” comments that stripped her of the dignity and strength she demonstrated in making one of the most challenging choices of her life.
In her impassioned defense, Catelynn noted that the complexities of adoption are often misunderstood by those outside the process. She stressed the emotional weight both she and Tyler carried when placing Carly for adoption. “Do you think that he didn’t spend many nights crying just like I did?” she questioned, addressing the lack of empathy some critics exhibit regarding their situation.
The couple, who have been open about their struggles and growth throughout their relationship, are clearly weary of addressing the same old accusations repeatedly. Catelynn declared this would be her last attempt to clarify their narrative, stating, “I sleep good at night. I know my morals and my values.” With their family expanding beyond Carly, it’s evident that Catelynn and Tyler are focused on building a positive future, despite the shadows of their past. Adoption remains a delicate subject—one that requires understanding and compassion, rather than judgment and speculation.
