Unplanned Pregnancy & the Choice for Adoption

Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra shared the story of their teen pregnancy and decision to place their daughter, Carly, up for adoption on MTV's "16 and Pregnant." Now students at Baker College, the couple speaks frequently in support of adoption. They discuss their sacrifice in order to give Carly a better life; the role of family, friends, and counselors in their decision; and their choice for an open adoption, which allows for regular communication and face-to-face visits. Catelynn and Tyler have also appeared on MTV's "Teen Mom."
