Catelynn Lowell is having some issues with her eldest daughter's adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa Davis. Apparently, they have blocked the 32-year-old Teen Mom: The Next Chapter star after she consistently sent updates for her 15-year-old daughter Carly to see. Catelynn and her husband, Tyler Baltierra, gave up their daughter to adoption in 2009, which is when they appeared on 16 and pregnant. They have maintained limited contact over the years, but now it seems that the contact is being restricted even more.

Here's what Catelynn says happened.
“Adoption is crazy. I’m blocked all because of me sending updates and pictures of her sisters,” she shared via her Instagram Story on September 9. “How is that fair to Carly and her siblings? But … this makes me sad for the kids. When you’re a [biological] mom you have no say … no control. All I can do is show Carly in the future how much I tried and continued to do so. She can make the decision herself to understand who shut who out.”
She shared the text messages.
In the next slide of her story, Catelynn shared a screen recording of her going through the text thread between her and Carly's parents. She said that she'd been “literally ignored for months then just blocked," which confused her.

She hopes her daughter will know that she tried to keep consistent contact.
In another story, Catelynn continued. "I gave them one of my biggest gifts ever … a child I grew and love so deeply. I will not let them take my voice. I post so that hopefully Carly will see it and see I have always tried."
She doesn't think she means anything to Carly's adoptive parents.
"To know I mean nothing to the APs [adoptive parents] but just a womb to give a child hurts my heart. I’m a person with feelings, the children I’m parenting have feelings … Carly has feelings," she said. "A child being involved with extra people that only love and support them. How is that threatening? I’ll never understand.”
She thinks the parents are feeling 'threatened.'
Catelynn added that she thinks Brandon and Teresa feel "scared/threatened" because of the fact that Carly “would ask questions about why we don’t get together more.” She said she will “always support Carly loving her parents” because “they love her and raised her.”
In conclusion, the mother wrote, “I love how people say I’m ‘putting them on blast’ when I am literally just sharing my own feelings, not calling them any hurtful names or anything. As bio parents we are taught just to take what’s given to us and that we should feel ‘lucky’ but if anything goes wrong, we need to shut up and be quiet.”
