Meet Dawn Baker — Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra’s Awesome Adoption Counselor!
Believe it or not, it's been more than eight years since Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra placed their daughter, Carly, for adoption, and so much has changed. The Teen Mom OG couple bought a farmhouse, welcomed a second daughter, and even started their own clothing company. Yet there's one person who has been there through all of their ups and downs: Their adoption counselor, Dawn Baker.
Fans of the show were first introduced to Dawn on 16 and Pregnant back in 2009, and since then, the trio has formed a seemingly unbreakable bond. Get to learn more about her below!

She loves Cate and Ty!
The Michigan-native's social media is flooded with images of the pair — almost as if they're her own adopted children. Most recently, Dawn accompanied them on their visit to see their firstborn daughter, Carly, whom they hadn't seen in two years. "Blessed to spend time with sweet @CatelynnLowell & @TylerBaltierra this weekend. 8 1/2 years of walking this journey together #adoption ❤️," she wrote on Twitter. So sweet!
