'It’s Never Going To Be Easy:' Inside Catelynn & Tyler’s Emotional Teen Mom OG Visit With Carly

Catelynn and Tyler's visit with Carly is one of the major moments we've been leading up to all season on Teen Mom OG. The birth parents hadn't seen their adopted daughter in two years, and she had however to meet baby Vaeda. Right now, on tonight's finale, the couple and their family member finally got time with the 10-year-old -- and as expected, it was emotional.


What made this visit different from prior ones (aside from Vaeda being around, certainly) was that, additionally to Dawn the adoption counselor, Cate’s and Ty’s parents were allowed to be present for the meet-up. Also, this time, Brandon and Teresa traveled with Carly to Michigan for the two-day trip, rather than both families meeting somewhere in the middle or in the Davis’ hometown of North Carolina.


However MTV cameras weren’t permitted to film the festivities, Catelynn and Tyler got choked up while reflecting later on their starting day with Carly.


“When you visualize all of your biological children with each other playing and their behaviors and walking the same...It’s different,” Catelynn mentioned. “I think that’s why it made this time emotional.”


“It’s never going to be easy to mention hello… and then mention goodbye," Tyler added. "[But] I think all of us that are involved would trade the couple days of sadness to have the visits, to have that bond. It’s important.”


Right following the second day of the visit, any time the families met up at the zoo, Catelynn and Tyler cried (on-camera) as they hugged Dawn and their parents. Then, because the Baltierras drove away, Tyler caught a glimpse of Carly and her parents -- and got mad realizing the goodbye was just as hard on their daughter.


“They looked like they were comforting her,” Ty told his spouse. “I hope to comfort her." He then started praising Cate for her strength. "You’re so strong, honey," he mentioned. "Every time you visualize her, she’s a completely different kid. We got some cute women though, don’t we?”
