'We Love You So Much': Tyler Baltierra Wishes Carly A Happy Birthday With Poignant Message

Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra bravely chronicled their choice to outline an adoption plan for their child-on-the-way a decade ago. And 10 years later, the Teen Mom OG dad paid tribute to their little girl Carly -- on her birthday.


"10 years prior yesterday, we were only 17. 10 years back, we brought you into the world," Tyler captioned the Instagram photo above featuring Carly and daughter Novalee sharing a warm embrace. "10 years back, we only got to hold you by ourselves for 1/2 hour in the hospital as we just cried & stared at you, remembering every little detail of how absolutely brilliant you were, since we knew that although we just met, we had to mention goodbye."


He continued: "10 years prior, we had to create the hardest decision of our lives & give you everything your innocent life deserved that we just couldn’t offer at the time. 10 years back, we contained each other & wept as we watched you drive away in the back of the vehicle with the only parents that were worthy to be yours. 10 years ago...Your life changed so several others for the better & has blessed more lives than I can count. We love you so much & hopefully get to be able to see you soon baby girl. Happy Birthday Carly! #Adoption #BirthparentStrong"


Fellow cast member Cheyenne Floyd and Teen Mom 2's Kailyn Lowry admired the heartwarming photograph, with Kail adding, "I have the chills!!! So so delighted of y’all & happy birthday to Carly!"
