Teen Mom stars Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra are going on tour!

Apr, 20, 2012 | AUTHOR: Asa Hawks; | Related : Catelynn Lowell, Teen Mom, Tyler Baltierra

MTV announced a couple months ago that the upcoming fourth season of the original Teen Mom (set to premiere on ) would be its last, which means the shows “stars” will need to figure out their future career paths in a hurry. Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra, who chose adoption for their daughter Carly in one of the most emotional episodes of 16 and Pregnant ever, are following in the footsteps of castmate Maci Bookout by trying out public speaking to compliment Catelynn’s plans to become an adoption counselor.

The two have paired up with Bethany Christian Services, who handled their open adoption, and ImPregnant.org for a brief series of speaking engagements in Pennsylvania and New Jersey this spring. Here is the info from the site:

Meet reality TV stars Catelynn & Tyler as they discuss unplanned pregnancy, today’s adoption, and other issues facing young adults and teens. Includes a Q&A session with them as well as with Bethany adoption professionals.

Who Should Attend?

• Students, parents, teens
• Social workers, pregnancy care center professionals
• Anyone considering placing a child for adoption

I have watched these two from the beginning and have cried, laughed and cried some more watching them go through all they have – I hope and pray they continue on their path to successful adulthood and beyond – I also pray they continue to build on their relationship and continue to love each other as much as they love their little girl – what an amazing and positive adoption story!!
Jessica

Awesome… an insecure girl and a guy that looks scared to death of any decision he makes with her, teaching people how to be “strong like them”. The only thing that I can see that these two have accomplished is getting away from drug addicted parents. Maybe they should talk to people about that rather than adoption. I think they could relate more to kids born into drug homes than people looking to put their child up for adoption. If they were truly okay with their choice of adoption, then they wouldn’t constantly obsess over it.

  What we saw on TV was almost 2 years ago. They may have gotten more confident with time. I am sure anybody who goes through what they have been through have a hard time in life and they can teach others how to cope.

  Why wouldn’t they “constantly obsess” over the adoption? In my opinion they didn’t obsess very much but obviously they miss their daughter. I have heard of people who still think about the child they gave up for adoption years and years later. It’s not like giving away a puppy…it’s a child, a different life, and person that you COULD have had if the timing had been right.
  
  On a different note, Ty and Cate are the only couple on Teen Mom that actually work out their problems with communication. Yeah they have issues every now and again that require counselling, but at least they are trying and they don’t have petty drama between themselves like the other couples.
  - Jessica
    
    Its one thing to think about it often, look at the momentos you have of your child, or occasionally say “oh this is nice.. i wish ____ could do this with us”. But to constantly talk about it all the time would not/will not EVER help them move forward with their lives. Granted, its tv and we only see a tiny portion of their lives. But in every episode, every conversation they have they bring up their daughter… I hope they don’t do that all the time.

      Lets not forget how they decked their apt out in all pics of Carly and got tattoos of her on them. They have not dealt with giving her up but they really need to. It will not help but obsessing over a child that is not theres anymore. I think it will actually push the adoptive parents to close all ties with them.
- Brittany
  
  I would be worried if someone gave their child up for adoption and didn’t “constantly obsess” over it. What kind of person gives up their child and then just forgets about it like it’s nothing?
- Sherita
  
  I agree. They themselves have not come to grips with putting Carly up for adoption. THey constantly crossed lines when they would send hundreds of presents to Carly for Xmas yet gave their little brother Nick very minimal if anything. They expected to be a part of every little decision on Carly and wanted her with them for special events. It was almost like they left the responsiblities on the adoptive parents but wanted to claim Carly as their child when it came to having her visit and come see her. Who does that? If I were the adopted parents I would get the adoption a little more closed, maybe having Carly mail them pics once a year. But all that sending her gifts and calling all the time and wanting her to visit them is overstepping boundaries.

I’d so much rather watch these two than Maci, Amber, Chelsea, Leah, Janelle or Kail. Farrah might actually be kind of interesting- she makes me laugh if nothing else.
I love Catelynn and Tyler. They’re not perfect but they make good decisions and Tyler is the best guy on this show, hands down. I would think what they have to say about adoption would be interesting, and I think they are two strong people to survive parents with drug addictions and making the choice to give up their daughter. I’d almost like of Tyler’s mom could say a few things about being married to an addict, raising children to not make the same mistakes as their parent, etc but obviously a younger audience wouldn’t want to hear Tyler’s mom talk.

  i agree. maci is so fake. fake hair, fake boobs, fake tan, fake nails. so full of herself.
Kerry

Good for them. I agree with Jen, I have laughed, cried and had my jaw drop with what these kids went through together, happy they stuck it out together. Their parents are quite the interesting people and to overcome all that and not end up druggies themselves is awesome. Good on ya kids!!

i love tyler and catelynn, but this is a little over the top, imo. they just finished their last season, so i feel like this is just an attempt to keep their name in the spotlight for a little longer.
i think their heart is in the right place, they’re just going about it the wrong way. having said all that, i wish them the best. they are two strong individuals who have overcome so much.

Adoption a good thing?! Truly selfless would be to support young mothers/parents, so that they can raise their own children – rather than talking them into adoption, deeply traumatizing both baby and natural mother. If people want to do good things: support mothers or adopt older children, who can agree to be adopted.

  I don’t understand. If you do not have the means to support a child then why try to keep it? Would you rather they abort it?
  
  Sometimes accidents happen. If they brought the child into the world, they better do what’s best for that child, and if giving the child a STABLE and LOVING home is the better option, then by all means go for it.
  
  If you’re still living at home with drug addicted parents and such, then why in the world would you keep your child there? Their home is really unstable, and I applaud them for making the choice they did, despite how much they miss her, they know damn well that their child is in a great home with fantastic guardians, and because it’s an open adoption, they still keep in touch with her and that little girl will always have 2 fantastic sets of parents.
