Teen Mom legends! Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell’s romance has continued to grow as they expanded their family.After the 16 and Pregnant alum found out she and Baltierra were expecting their first child, the pair eventually decided to place Carly, born in 2009, up for adoption with Brandon Davis and Teresa Davis.“I remember just staring at her while she was sleeping, like, ‘Oh, my God, I can’t bring a kid into this craziness,’” Baltierra recalled during a November 2021 appearance on the “Reality Life With Kate Casey” podcast. “At that time, my dad was with her mom, they were both using [drugs], it was just kind of wild and unpredictable and crazy.

So for me, it was just pure panic. … We both kind of looked around. Like, it was just natural without any words. It was, like, a feeling.

From then on, we just kind of knew adoption was just the right thing to do.”The Michigan natives — who wed in 2015 — went on to welcome daughters Novalee, Vaeda and Rya in 2015, 2019 and 2021, respectively.“You do get sad having more children after [adoption].

But then it does ease the pain of not knowing at all what [raising Carly] was like,” Baltierra told host Kate Casey during the podcast interview. “When we saw Nova get older … we [went] back to old pictures that Teresa sent us when [Carly] was that same age and it helped a little bit.”As the Conquering Chaos authors raise their youngest daughters, they’ve remained in touch with Carly and the Davises.“They are her parents.
