I promise that I did NOT start this blog to be a shrine to Catelynn and Tyler, but I couldn’t resist sharing this link that I came across this morning. it might be my last Catelynn and Tyler post but I’m not going to promise that! LOL! What I love about their story most is that it is a positive portrayal of adoption – it rang true with me from beginning to end. The connection that they talked about sharing with their adoptive parents,  the determination to do what is best for their daughter – even when their own parents were against them. I just can’t help myself – I loved their story.

As I mentioned earlier,  I am a huge fan of Catelynn and Tyler from MTV’s documentary series 16 and Pregnant. Well MTV is starting a new series this Tuesday, December 8th at 10pm et/pt  called Teen Mom following four of the stories – one of them is Catelynn and Tyler.

The series is being done documentary style as opposed to the Real World social experiment which abandoned its humble roots and has taken a turn for the salacious.  Some of the moments that they show in the sneak peek are cringe worthy, but some of the situations these teen mothers and their babies are heart breaking.

I’m hoping to see more from Catelynn and Tyler, and hoping that their adoption experience will continue to be worth watching.
