After Carly's adoption, Tyler and Catelynn went on to welcome three daughters named Nova (age 8), Vaeda (age 4), and Rya Rose, (age 1). One might think that the reality TV parents' relationship with Carly could be strained.

First, consider that Tyler recently opened up about why he and Catelynn decided that adoption was the best option for their first child. During a therapist visit that was filmed for Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, he said he was a survivor of sexual abuse.

"The sexual identity got robbed out of me. I didn’t get to develop it myself. I didn’t get to do any of it on my own. I felt like that, I don’t know, it kind of mutated into this hypersexuality. I literally had a child that I had to place for adoption pretty much, I think, because of it," he shares during the visit.
Carly was adopted by Brandon and Teresa Davis, and by all accounts, seems to be very happy. But also happily, she maintains a close relationship with her birth parents.

In June 2023, Catelynn shared an update about a visit with Carly, which also included all three of her sisters.
"Had an amazing visit with our girl," the proud mom gushed, adding about Carly that "she’s funny, kind, smart, goofy, and stunning." Meanwhile, the former teen mom admitted, "Adoption is hard and saying goodbye time and time again is soooo hard!"
Catelynn also said she enjoys getting know her teen on a "deeper" level each time, and that being with all four of her girls is "such a blessing."

Tyler also shared his feelings about the visit with Carly, which seemed to stretch at least a few days. In his post, the dad similarly poured out his love and affection for his daughter.
"The feeling I have when I’m with all of my beautiful girls is truly indescribable," Tyler said, going on to describe a "pure organic love" that "is overwhelming, almost to the point of being unbearable at times."
Like Catelynn, Tyler called Carly "smart," "kind," and "goofy," and recounted how magical it is see Carly with her sisters. He also praised her adoptive parents for "an amazing job raising her."
