Teen Mom's Catelynn Lowell breaks down in tears as she is blocked from seeing daughter by her adoptive parents

Teen Mom stars Catelynn Lowell had an emotional reaction to finding out that she was allegedly 'blocked' from contacting her daughter, Carly, by her adoptive parents. Since making the difficult choice to place her first child up for adoption as a teenager, alongside her now-husband Tyler Baltierra, in 2009, the reality star, 32, has endured a complicated relationship with her eldest's adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa Davis.

During Thursday's episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Lowell broke down in tears as she spoke with her and Baltierra's adoption counselor, Dawn. Lowell contacted Dawn after allegedly receiving a text message from Carly's mom that she would no longer 'be responding' to her messages after feeling 'very hurt' by something the TV personality said about her and Brandon online. As documented on the inaugural season of MTV's 16 and Pregnant, the Davis family adopted Lowell and Baltierra's baby girl.

At the time, Brandon and Teresa agreed to an open adoption, under the condition they could change it to a closed adoption, at any time.

Catelynn told Dawn that their adoption felt 'very closed' now and explained it was giving her PTSD.

'Now that contact has been blocked and I’m cut off; that does feel like you are putting a fine line in the sand of no more,' she said of the arrangement. Baltierra added: 'Blocking is something children do.'. 'If their opinion is different than yours and they've asked for space and they've asked for things to chill and it hasn't happened, then is it the only alternative they can see?' Dawn told the couple.

Dawn, then, reminded the pair that they 'have a lot of power' due to their large social media followings. 'When you put it out in public platform on social media, I read the comments, you know people make up their own narrative. A lot of hurt happens when we live our life out on social media,' she said. Catelynn went on to tell Dawn if Carly wanted to end contact with her that she would '100% step back.'.

This prompted Dawn to ask if it was 'fair' to 'put that kind of pressure on a young teenager.'.

'If it's coming from Brandon and Teresa's fear or insecurity or she's getting older and they're not wanting contact, I will not stop reaching out,' Catelynn insisted. 'I will not stop sending her gifts. I will not do it, Dawn. I will not.'. Dawn cautioned Lowell that she was putting her biological daughter in 'a very difficult position' that may feel like a game of tug of war. 'Sometimes we have to take a step back,' Dawn advised.

Lowell shot back: 'That's not fair, Dawn... You never had to give a child to somebody and live with that for the rest of your life. It's just not fair.'. 'I'm taking a pause until initiation happens not from me,' Baltierra said of how he plans on handling the situation. Lowell contacted Dawn after allegedly receiving a text message from Carly's mom that she would no longer 'be responding' to her messages after feeling 'very hurt' by something the TV personality said about her and Brandon online.

Ahead of the season premiere, which aired last month, Lowell told TooFab that they remained blocked from Carly. 'There hasn't been any improvement. We're still blocked. I still have no way of communicating with them, even if I wanted to. So no, it's still the same,' she told the outlet. The author added: 'Now I've kind of turned it to where I'm just trying to do adoption, adoptee advocation, so having adoptees use their voices and speak their situations and what would've helped them, you know?'.

Lowell also theorized that their reality show held Carly's adoptive parents  'accountable' or she thinks they may have 'cut off contact a long time ago.'. 'I truly believe that,' she said. 'I mean, usually, when a birth parent decides on an open adoption, most open adoptions close within the first five years, and that's not because the birth parents want it to happen, it's because the adoptive parents just do it.'.

In 2023, Lowell and Baltierra, who rose to fame on the hit MTV spin-off series of 16 And Pregnant, reunited with Carly for some rare quality time together (pictured above).
