Original Teen Mom cast member Catelynn Lowell explains she wasn't part of the spin-off because of concerns over her newborn's health while traveling during COVID. Catelynn and her husband Tyler Baltiera journey is unique in the Teen Mom world, due to their decision to give their daughter up for adoption. At the time, they were both living in unstable conditions, as both their parents were drug addicts and alcoholics, so they didn't think they should bring a baby into that environment. Throughout their time on the show, the two have shared their journey navigating through their open adoption and all the struggles that come with it. In the beginning, their daughter's adoptive parents allowed their visits to be filmed for the show, but as it's popularity grew they requested the visits remain private.
In recent seasons, the couple has been more open about their frustration with the adoptive parents. Catelynn revealed Carly's parents send her pictures of her and that Catelynn sends them pictures of her other daughters for Carly to see. She explained that when they are able to arrange visits with her, all Carly wants to do is play with her sisters which makes Catelynn really happy. In her eyes, the only thing that matters is that all her daughters form a long lasting bond. Catelynn then praised Carly's parents for the way they handle their unique situation and thanked them for allowing them to be as involved as they are.
