    What becomes a gossip columnist most?

    By Michael Musto

She may have been off her prescription pills when she wrote her story, because there are some inaccuracies right off the bat. "First, let me introduce myself," she wrote. "My name is Jennifer Potter." But it wasn't. It was Jennalee Ryan. "I am a single mother of eight children." It is not clear if she had already un-adopted Sandra and little gay Max.

After describing how TMP screwed her, she concluded, "I hope that my story does not resemble ‘whining.' I have always been a hard worker and have never asked for or depended on anyone for help of any kind. I rose from a homeless teenager living on the streets to a person that is well-respected in the marketing community."

And why did she want to publicize her plight?

"To let TMP know that, if you are going to go public with a story," she wrote, "make sure that you give both sides."

"First let me introduce myself. My name is Jennalee Ryan, and I am an adoptive parent."

The words appear on the Web site for San Antonio's Abraham Center of Life, beside a picture of Ryan cradling a pink infant wrapped in a blanket. The Web site is actually the province of two companies. The eponymous Abraham Center, with offices in Texas and California, is described as an "advertising service" that refers interested parties to facilities that can meet their needs for egg donation, surrogacy or embryo donation. The other business, alternately referred to as "A Abagails [sic] Silver Spoon Adoption" and the A-less "Abagails Silver Spoon Adoptions," is an advertising service for the adoption of full-blown human beings. At first, it appears to be just another crudely-designed Web site for a fledgling business — a weird fledgling business, but innocuous nonetheless. What kicked up the creep factor was an announcement (it's actually headlined "Announcement") posted on the site around the fall of 2006, reading: "The Abraham Center of Life wishes to announce the opening of North America's first human embryo bank."

"We are THE ONLY SERVICE in the United States that offers egg donors, traditional and gestational surrogacy, frozen embryo donation AND adoption services," the text under the announcement read. "We are also unique in that we offer a program for shared egg retrieval cycles."

"First human embryo bank" and "shared egg retrieval cycles" were the key phrases here. While there were already thousands of extant frozen embryos held in cryobanks around the country, it appeared that Ryan wanted to create new embryos to keep on the shelf for future sale. And the Abraham Center's staff would help parties on either side through every step of the process — "finding a physician, medical screenings, psychological screenings, financial arrangements, and legal aspects of the agreements."

In actuality, there was no staff, other than Ryan's daughter, Lisa Marie Robinson, who answered the businesses' shared 800 number. And there was no human embryo bank, since Ryan ran the business out of her house, with nary an embryo to be found. And there really was no California office, because the address listed for the Abraham Center of Life's office in Temecula, California, is actually the office of an Allstate insurance salesman named James C. Webb, who, in his spare time, runs a licensed adoption agency outside Salt Lake City. But we'll get to that later.

It's not clear who ran with the story first, but the nonexistent First Human Embryo Bank became worldwide news, with stories of boutique babies and apocalyptic bioethical ramifications.

By January 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration took an interest in what the Associated Press called "a business that produces batches of ready-made embryos." In an anticlimactic finale, the FDA announced that month that, because there was no actual embryo bank, there was nothing for the FDA to investigate.

Ryan told the San Antonio Express-News that the media was under the erroneous assumption that her business was hands-on, rather than merely an advertising service.

Today, Ryan is careful to make that clear from the outset, perhaps because state laws dealing with adoption-esque services often require a Ouija board to decipher. In Texas, only a parent, guardian or licensed child-placing agency can act as an intermediary between adoptive and expectant parents. And only a licensed child-placing agency can advertise to place, provide or obtain a child. (The Texas Family Code, as it pertains to adoptions, defines "child" as a person under the age of 18 and does not say anything about embryos.)

Ryan is able to circumvent the regulation restricting advertising of such services to a licensed child-placing agency by not actually matching birth moms to adoptive parents. Instead, if an adoptive parent calls the Abraham Center for Life (i.e., Ryan's house), she can give the parent a list of phone numbers for licensed agencies. But she cannot introduce that adoptive parent to a birth mother.

And since she's only advertising, Ryan expressed amazement that the Houston Press would be so interested in her business and personal life. When she finally returned a call to the Press, she said through laughter, "A biography? This is so exciting! I'm that important — wow!" She later added, "How did I get to be the lucky one that gets a whole article written on them 'cause they have an interesting background?"

They were odd statements for a woman who, in 1997, commissioned a California freelancer to write a book about her. In 1998, that writer filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau in California that Ryan (Potter-Clay at the time) stiffed her for $840 worth of work she had done on a brochure Ryan wanted to promote her business. (The book was to follow the brochure.)

"I believe that a person's ethics — or lack of ethics in one instance — often carries over into other facets," Marilyn Campbell wrote in her complaint, "and as Ms. Clay is involved in something as sensitive as private adoptions, I think any lapse should be seriously considered."

  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.
