    What becomes a gossip columnist most?

    By Michael Musto

Eight days later, Rocky Mountain News (Denver): Jennifer Potter-Clay, the spokeswoman for a "southern California production company" called Silver Spoon Productions, is seeking heartwarming stories for an upcoming series called "The Good News."

"We are here to listen and report good news, 24 hours a day, seven days a week," Potter-Clay says. She gives the company's address in Lake Elsinore.

This is the last appearance of Jennifer Potter-Clay. In a few months, she will cease to exist.

When she's reborn as Jenna Ryan of Temecula, she's not so interested in good news. She has been interviewing inmates of an Alabama prison for her documentary, Inside the Criminal Mind, which is narrated by attorney and true-crime author Vincent Bugliosi. Ryan figured, who else better than the man who prosecuted Charles Manson and cowrote Helter Skelter to narrate her crawl into the crevices of warped minds?

She enters and places second in the Temecula Valley International Film Festival. Now she wants to go to Cannes. She tells the paper that Suzanne Blum, a distributor in Los Angeles, has shown an interest in the documentary. Blum told the Press she was briefly interested in the documentary and that Bugliosi did indeed narrate the film. Bugliosi left the Press a voice mail saying he could not recall the name Jenna Ryan, and suggested contacting his agent if there were any follow-up questions. (After an initial conversation, the agent did not return multiple calls and e-mails.)

"I'm not into glorifying criminals," Ryan tells a reporter for the Press-Enterprise in 2001. "Most are not bad, but what they [have done] is. Every person is capable of crime. For instance, if you are starving, you may steal or even kill."

Her research, the article states, "shows that many who commit crime demonstrated troubled behavior as children."

Thirty-odd years before Jenna Ryan is born, little Jennifer Potter is in Los Angeles County, engaging in one of her pastimes: wishing someone would adopt her.

Between her dad's beatings and her schizophrenic mother's drug addiction, Jennifer is having trouble coping.

And now, the woman named Jennalee Ryan recalls what little Jennifer Potter went through:

"Anywhere I went, I'd, like, look at people...normal people, and just wish and wish and wish that they would adopt me and take me out of the hell that I was in," she says from her home in San Antonio. She figures her interest in adoption sprang from that.

"Psychologically, it's maybe I'm able to rescue [kids], you know," she says, "...and I look at Angelina Jolie, and I kind of see the same thing with her."

Ryan's father, Gerald Potter, is as casual with names as his daughter. He goes by Jediah, or, as his answering machine up near Klamath Falls, Oregon, states, "Jediah the Great." It is difficult to tell if it's tongue-in-cheek.

Jediah denies beating Jennifer. Spanking, sure. But, he says, "I'm a firm believer in ‘spare the rod, spoil the child.'" He says he has "no concept" of why Ryan would say such things, but he hardly sounds troubled by it. "What could one do about it?" he asks.

He's more concerned if these Tales of the Belt originated with Ryan's sister, Linda McDonald, who lives in Riverside County. When told that Ryan vividly described incidents such as Jediah yanking her out of bed by her hair and throwing her to the kitchen floor, ordering her to scrub it on her hands and knees, Jediah still had the feeling that McDonald might be behind it all. He did not suspect his son, Kurt, or his other daughter, Jeanne, neither of whom returned calls seeking comment for this story.

No, there was something about McDonald. Jediah and McDonald don't talk much. And Ryan and McDonald have not spoken in about five years.

This may all be because McDonald considers her sister a sociopath.

"She fits the same exact criteria: the lying, the constantly being in trouble, the lack of empathy," McDonald says, later adding, "If you know anything about sociopaths, they excel in bullshit." When Ryan sought to adopt three kids, McDonald, troubled by Ryan's management of her five biological children, claims she urged state adoption authorities to deny Ryan's request.

But the adoptions were approved. And, in 1993, the Angelina Jolie-like rescuing began in earnest.

That year, Ryan (still Jennifer Potter) incorporated A Silver Spoon Adoptions. It was one of the first adoption facilitation services, which originated in California, and — to the distaste of most licensed adoption agencies — spread to states with facilitation-friendly laws, or, better yet, no facilitation laws at all. A facilitator is basically a baby-broker, earning a fee for matching a birth mother with adoptive parents. The overhead is low and the client base is high.

National Council For Adoption spokesman Lee Allen says the Council recommends dealing only with licensed and accredited adoption professionals. As he puts it, adoption should be in the best interests of the child, and facilitators have no allegiance to any party.

When Ryan had enough clients, she hired contractors, who worked on commission. A Silver Spoon ran ads in Yellow Pages nationwide, encouraging birth mothers and adoptive parents to call for help with their respective needs. A few years later, when she could promote her services online, she was able to further grow her business. She seemed like a person who knew about kids. Her Web site showed Mom and her eight kids gathered around the dining room table. An accompanying article from an unnamed newspaper begins, "Jennifer Potter finds time for eight kids and running her own business, too. How does she do it?"

The article describes how she's able to run an adoption agency, produce shows for television and open a restaurant, all while doing three loads of laundry and reading bedtime stories every day.

She talks about being strict with the kids, six of whom are boys.

  1. Thank you so very much for revealing all on this most 'Sybil' like person now known as Jennalee Ryan. The author of this article deserves a great round of applause for excellent journalistic investigative leg-work! My hat is off to you, for exposing this fraud of a woman, who is in the Baby-Selling business.

  2. Excellent research! This woman is crazy, and she's playing with children's lives. Un-adopt? uh-uh. Thank you for exposing this crazy lady.

  3. first of all no one knows this amazing woman, shes been helping save lives and giving women a chance to be happy and have a child of their own, as far as our personell life anyone can dig deep enough and see what they whant to see. as far as her alias' they were all legal names and has never attempted to deceive anyone with regard to her identity. as far as the services she provides i dont think anyone has any complaints, there are several thousand people that have utilized her services and not one of them gave any input with regard to this article, she gives people a chance to have a family and a life of their own. as far as "un-adoption" is concerned the best interests of everychild is taken into consideration. as far as "sandra" is concerned her biological mother placed her for adoption out of shame, after extensive conversations and multiple visits her bio- mother decided her daughter was more important than her pride. as far as "little gay max" it is very cruel to call a child a flamer especially in a widely publisized document. he was placed with an upper class family that had no other children and was more qualified to focus on his specific needs. there is no way to prove someone isnt "crazy" so i will not even dignify that acccusation with a response. as far as the "great journalism" is concerned im sorry for ANYONE who thinks this is a well written article.

    she is an amazing woman and even better mother, i guess no good deed goes unpunished.

  5. Hi, this is the guy who wrote the story. I just wanted to point out that Sean Acero, the gentleman who posted two identical comments, is Jennalee's/Jennifer's son. He is the "Sean" referred to in one section of the story. I just thought this fact needed to be disclosed. Thanks.

  6. Thanks for clearing up that the poster "sean" is really Jennifer/Jennalees son. I was reading it thinking it was her, and laughing at how ridiculous and horrific the whole thing was, but now that i know the comment is by sean i'll take it seriously.

    i mean, c'mon, if i don't, he may chain me to a tree by my neck and beat me.


    I'm an adoption worker and i cannot believe the audacity and insanity of this woman. i was wondering how anyone could have ever approved her to be an adoptive parent, but reading the article i'm fairly certain she must have done it thought her OWN agency. sounds ethical. adoptions do dissolve or disrupt, sad to say, but really i can't fault her for "un-adopting" (as you refer to it) her two children. if only she would "un-adopt" the rest of them they might have a chance to be somewhat normal and well-adjusted.
    thanks for doing a good job of making this extremely complicated story "understandable." well written.

  7. I am a birthmother who placed a child through Jennalee, and I was extremly happy with the services she offered me, who cares what her personal life is, all that matters is that she is offering women like myself the chance to offer our children a better life and home then we can! I have kept in contact with her throughout the years, an she has always had the best interest of the children at heart. She is a wonderful, caring person, and I have never seen anything vendictive out of her. As far as "crazy" I dont understand how you can say she is crazy, she is doing everything she can to help women and thier children, it just sounds like this artical was written by someone who is jelous that they are not doing this, I cant believe how people are so fast to judge others, are you the one we answer to on judgement day? I DIDN'T THINK SO! If I ever needed to place a child for adoption I would go back and use Jennalee and no other agency!! Thank you Jennalee fo your help and your loving support through the years!! Jennalee keep doing what your doing, I truly believe you are an angel sent from god to help protect his children.

  8. Craig Malisow, you had already said that, and I think its a wonderful thing that he defend his mother, he would know best what type of person she is, better then you and I. What type of person are you to say what she is doing is unethical, she is offering homes and families to babies and children whoe birthparents can not give it, there is nothing wrong with that, and her said that all of her names were legal changes, then who cares if she has 5 differnet names, as long as they are all legal, I just feel taht you people have NOTHING better to do then pick apart someone elses life. Dont you understand all of her life experiences are what have made her such a caring and loving person that she is, I really saddens me to see that there are people out there trying to bring someone down who is just helping gods children, As long as I have known Jennalee, she has not done anything wrong, and I am sure if she had the law would have stepped in by now, so your pathetic story on her, will not hurt her in any way shape or form, it is all just basicly hear-say and for those of you who read this and think she is a "horrible person" you should talk to her yourself, and hear what she has to say, and what she does from her own mouth, dont believe everything you read, I dont believe that she would ever hurt a child, physically or emotionaly, and as far "un-adopting" Again she was doing what she felt was best for the children. You need to grow up and see thats all she wants is for children to be loved and cared for, and she is offering a way for that to be done!

  10. I agree with Sean. I've known this woman almost my entire life and to write such a suggestive and flat out rude article is wrong. She does so much to help children in situations that if made public would make her look like a saint. I'm sure if we dug deep into your past it wouldn't look too peachy keen would it? I believe that she is doing a great service to all women who want their child to have a better life and seek adoption. As sean stated I guess no good deed goes unpunished. In the almost seventeen years that I've known Jenna she has treated me with nothing but kindness and has even offered me a place to stay if need be. I cannot even imagine why the author of this article would even believe to know anything about her. I've watched this women work her a** off helping people who truely need her. In my opinion she deserves nothing but the same joy that she puts forth into the world day after day!

  11. Interesting article. That lady sounds mad as a hatter to me. Not surprising her kids would defend her - look how they were raised.

    I'd bet a lot of money that those last three comments came from the same IP address.

    Pathetic.
