Since placing Carly for adoption, Cate and Tyler have since gotten married and welcomed two more daughters, 4-year-old Nova and 5-month-old Vaeda. When it comes to explaining it to Nova, Cate admitted that they don't "get too much into detail" because she is still "so young she doesn't understand."
When it comes to Carly's 10th birthday, Tyler admitted that he doesn't know where his mind goes to when he thinks about it.
He confessed that looking back on the situation, he wishes he chose parents that are more "relaxed" to raise his child. However, he admitted that Brandon and Teresa also probably didn't expect birth parents that were on television for over a decade.
Down the road when Carly asks why she was placed for adoption, Tyler admitted that he plans on telling her "the truth." Cate added, "I'm not going to hide anything from her. I'm going to tell her the full, raw reality of our situation."
After the episode aired, Cate took to Twitter on August 7th to continue discussing Carly's birth after a heartbreaking scene with Nova.
As always, the adorable couple get a cake and sings to their oldest child.
In one scene, Tyler picked Nova up from school and attempted to explain the situation to the 4-year-old. He said that they will be celebrating Carly's birthday without her since she lives with her parents. Nova was upset Carly couldn't be there, but was still excited for cake!
"That’s another hard part of being birth parents... explaining to your children why we can’t be with the other child on birthdays etc," Cate tweeted.
Adding, "But as our kids get older the more they will understand and the more we can explain #TeenMomOG."

Cate tweeted, "Yep we were late! By like 30-45 mins and it was because I finished her scrapbook! Which by the way she LOVED!!!! She wasn’t upset about us being late she was so excited about her scrapbook!"
Adding, "Carly didn’t care about the time on the clock she only cared that we spent quality time with her and played etc. also that she got to spend time with her sisters ❤️ and that’s all that matters."
