Hello to our supporters and fans :)
Catelynn and I have just returned from our very first visit to go see Carly. It was truly amazing. I played with her on the jungle gym and pushed her in the swing and ate a picnic with her and her parents. I could of stayed in the moment forever. She is doing so well. She does some sign language now and tries to repeat words you say. She has a killer smile and an adorable laugh :) She crawls everywhere and is trying to walk (only if your holding her fingers) She is just about over a year old and is doing awesome in her growth from baby to a toddler. Catleynn and I bought a recordable book for her so we can read to her from a distance--she loved it! Well I put new pics up of her for you to see. Thank you again for all your support, I do not think me and Cate would be where we are without it :)

Hello to all my supporters. I want to say thank you so much for all of the awesome, complimenting emails we have received. You all truly don't know how helpful those are in my grieving process. Carly is now a few days away from being 8 months old and getting cuter every day. We still keep in contact and are planning on a visit sometime after the winter season is over. I can't wait to see her :) Well as promised here are the Halloween pics and a family pic for you guys. Thank you so much for all your support and love, it whole heartedly moves me almost to tears. Keep in contact!

You may know about our amazing story. You can watch our full episode of “16 and Pregnant” on MTV.com under "16 and Pregnant".
Catelynn and I are both 17 going on 18 and this is our senior year. Although Catelynn getting pregnant at 16 was a big challenge for us and put an extreme hold on things from our crazy life, me and Catelynn came to the decision that placing our daughter (Carly) up for adoption was the best choice for the future of our daughter. It was the hardest thing we will ever do but as parents we made the sacrifice of not raising her and being with her all the time to only better her life and give her to a Christian family who has longed and waited for a child of their own after having been unsuccessful in having their own biological children.
Brandon and Teresa, a well-rounded, religious family from North Carolina, have the joy and gift of being Carly’s parents. We only did what we thought was the best for our daughter. I believe that when you become a parent no matter what the age you have to put that child before yourself and it is your job to deliver that innocent child the absolute best possible life. In mine and Catelynn’s eyes, adoption was the best option. Me and Cate chose a completely open adoption, which means that we get pictures, letters, emails, phone calls, and even face-to-face visits with our daughter. We handmade a baby blanket and a scrapbook for her to have so when she is old enough to understand she can really look back and see the reasons why me and Catelynn made our decision to give her a life we couldn’t provide.
I wrote a letter to my daughter before she was born to always hold on to and always look back and read whenever she has thoughts or simple questions an adoptee usually has. I love my daughter with every bit of soul, heart, spirit, bone, and breath in my body and because of what we did, I truly believe that she will always know how much me and Catelynn love her and will one day eventually come to us and say "thank you, thank you Tyler and Catelynn for giving me this wonderful life that I may not have been able to experience.”
Carly, you are in our thoughts every day...I love you baby girl with all my heart and so much more...don’t ever forget that!
If you would like to know more about our story or adoption, you can always contact us about anything. Thank you for all your support and love. You have no idea how much it means to us!
