Catelynn and Tyler talk about the love it took to give up baby Carly and how they hope she realizes the circumstances surrounding their decision.
i agree cate and made a good decision they did it cause they did not want to bring her in to wut they go throught they want her to have a better life then either of them have had and im sorry to hear that
Tyler and Catelyn u 2 are amazing! when u said catelyn that u were at peace with your decision i cried my eyes out haha im 21 yrs old and at a young age i was told not to get pregnant because due to my kidney disease id only live to be about 40 yrs old! and the baby probably wouldnt even make it past week 20 or full term! well i made it to 34 weeks so Ha! lol at 4 months i was offered a medical abortion i know its there jobs to suggest whats right but i felt like slapping my nurses in the face and running out of the doctors office as fast as i could! seeing the strength u both had to keep her regardless of ur situation reminded me of myself, no matter what anyone told em i could or could not do i know iam AT PEACE with my choice, i may not be the most outstanding mother in the world, but iam Layla raen fischers mommy and to me nothing else will ever matter, same goes for u 2 u will always be baby carlys parents and someday when she exsperences her first crush and first real laugh and first time in the ocean or whatever it may be that rings her happiness she will thank u both! because without either of u shed honestly be nothing, so to the ignorant ppl saying u took the easy way out! forget them they could never sacrafice what u did to give there children a chance at a better life regardless of how well they raise there child themselves! congrats to u both stay golden and god bless!
I LOVE Catelynn and Tyler! They are such good people and great parents! They have SO MUCH love for their baby. It makes me cry to think about the pain they must feel everyday, knowing that their baby is with another family. But it brings them joy too. The emotional state of any new mother is like a roller coaster. Add giving your child up for adoption (for selfless reasons) and it becomes much harder. You feel so much love and loss at the same time. It is not easy no matter which decision you make. But Catelynn and Tyler deserve the respect they have from me. They are both wise, loving, supportive, and strong. I wish nothing but the best for them both.
you guys are amazing and i am sure when carly gets older she wil know how much you and tyler love her and i dont think she will ever stop loving you guys either
you guys are such amzing people when you guys do have other children i know you will be GREAT PARENTS you two touch my heart so wonderful and i think you guys showed the world the def. of amzing people it was very inspiring
these two r my fav they r so strong and loving and the most mature kids on this show.
i think you guy's made a great decission! you are a very strong person..it was very inspiring.
I want to let you know that you are so brave and I know what you both are going threw.I myself in your shoes and i did the same thing and if i had to do it all over again i would do the same thing. my son has the most wonderful parents that i could ask for.I hope you and tyler the best.
I cannot believe how brave you were. But that just shows how much you care. I gave birth to my son almost 8 months ago and it's hard enough to deal with now. I kept him because that felt like the right choice for us. But there is a right choice for everyone. You guys would have made wonderful parents I think but giving your baby up for the sake of her own life shows how truely amazing you are. She will always have a special and loving bond with you that no one could ever explain. I'm happy everything worked out. (:
yall were really tuff on the choice yall made. but honestly i think yall should have kept ur lil one.. im a teen mommy and i was scared to have my baby girl and i was nervous cause i didnt know wat 2 expect.. but i had her and i kept her.. adoption was never in my mind & shes the best thing dats ever happened 2 me i dont regret her at all. and tyler says his dads never been in his life..u dont think shell feel the same when she gets older.. i couldnt have done wat yall did and yall seemd really upset letting her go and it looked like yall didnt want 2 let her go but yall still did.. yall made me cry big time
everyone is diffrent. my little brother is adpoted. his mommy couldnt take care of him she had other kids. hes FREAKIN SPOILED
Catelynn and Tyler... the two of you are both the strongest people that i know. I watched the episodes of the show and i cryed each and everytime. You guys gave the gift of light. One day your lil girl Carly is going to appreciate you and thank you for everything that the two of you did for her. The bond will be amazing. I'm sure you are missing her and have thought of 'what if', but you have done such an amazing thing and the two of you will be rewarded in your lives. Take care of yourselves.

i think they are very brave and nobody should be judging their decision....carly is going to have a great life
I wish people on here would stop talking crap about the decision that they made. I think very highly of them for doing that for their daughter. They loved her enough to give her a better life than they ever could. That baby will grow up knowing that her birth parents did love her. If they just wanted a way out they could've aborted her, but they didn't they did the hardest thing that they will ever have to do. Yes it is hard to do, but these 2 are very strong and very mature beyond their years. And the will one day make wonderful parents.
This is definantley my favorite couple. I watched this one night cause i could sleep and I balled my eyes out. You guys are sooooo strong! And catelynn I love your accentt:)
I am sooo proud of this couple and I dont even know them. If you guys ever read this I hope u know that u did the right thing nor for you but for HER. I am adopted and I hope my mom felt the same way you two did when she gave me up to have a better life and I did. God Bless you and Carly!!! One day u will have and raise your own family!!
I was 17 when I got pregnant and I chose an open adoption. Although it was the absolute hardest decision of my life I knew I had to put my pain and emotions aside and think about what was going to be best for my baby. There were so many similarities with my story and Catelynn's, and I love to see that this episode showed that there are another options besides abortion.I, too, met with the adoptive parents while I was pregnant, they were there at the hospital the day that I gave birth, and I keep in contact with them and see Madelyn(my daughter) regularly. I just turned 24 and Maddy is now 6. It was a very hard decision and I think about her every day. Everytime I go over to visit I am reassured of not only all of the amazing things she will have, wants, needs, and deserves but how much love she has all around her. I just felt like I didn't want my child to have to suffer for the poor decisions I have made. The couple I chose were both incapable of having children and I have given them the greatest gift. Everybody's situation is different and adoption is not for everyone, it has to be your decision. I would like Catelynn to know that I feel for her and her boyfriend and you guys made the right decision! Some days are VERY hard but know that she is happy and loved! The parents you have chosen will rase her knowing that you both loved her so much that you did the hardest thing you could do to insure she would have a great life. And you guys have the opportunity to have everything you deserve and want as well(pursuing and furthering your education, and just being young!)
wow you two give me chills everytime i watch you two- i give you props- your both smart stong kids who i feel will go so far in life- i wish you both the best- your so stong! keep it up-i envy your strenghth!
please do not listen to single minded selfish people........ im so proud of you and you rcourage thru this journey........Heres my story that i have never regreted....... i gave birth to a boy they called samuel exactly 7 days before i turned 18 and have never regreted it for the last 17 years i now have an 11, 3 and 1 yr old and love being a mom....there is life after adoption.....simple minded people like ive read a few do not truly understand what a gift you have given to not only the adoptive parents but to your child is.... i personaly think the easy way out is to keep a child for your own gratifacation.... i read one who said they had 2 before they were 19 , i just want to know what kind of message are you sending you children that its okay to live on the system or that is okay to be a **????? just my thoughts... i really hope that mtv will continue this show and show so many young girls that its not a glamorous thing and that there are options other than abortion......please be proud and share your story with any one who is willing to listen....... volunter counselor at free pregnancy crisis center
deffinately the strongest couple on this show.
