Columnist Teri Sforza writes that the family is under no illusions that the road ahead is an easy one. But it’s about time they traveled it.
Ryan Morris was one of those abused in the Morris-Kerin home, according to court documents. His bio family racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal bills over the decades trying to “free” him, and it had finally come to this. As they sang in the car, Nonna Mukai changed the lyrics to “We’re going to San Juan, We’re going to San Juan, yes we are, we’re going to San Juan.” There was a beat, and when she added the errant “Capistrano,” they laughed until they cried.
Ryan had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, asthma and myriad other maladies, according to court records. His motor skills and speech were impaired. He was prone to seizures. He required care 24/7, much more specialized care than Nonna Mukai could provide, officials told her. She retorted that she’d happily learn whatever skills were necessary — but Ryan was placed in one specialized foster home after another for the first few years of his life.
Morris-Kerin was once a Los Angeles County adoption social worker. She made reports that cast doubt on the bio family’s ability to care for Ryan or accept his disabilities. He’d come back from visits with scrapes and bruises, Morris-Kerin said — which is what happens when childrenRonald Moore, left, and identical twin Ryan Morris embrace after seeing each for the first time in 13 years in 2015.
To a man of regular intelligence. Nearly twice his age. Despite having the intellectual capacity of a kindergartener.At the ceremony, he was confused and concerned, mistaking his wedding for a baptism. In 2019, a Riverside judge removed Spicer as Morris’ conservator, citing “numerous instances of abusive behavior” such as threatening to send Morris back to his adoptive mother’s house when he misbehaved, threatening to take his ring off and end the marriage, threatening to send Morris for emergency mental health treatment, and punishing Morris by restricting visits with his biological family.
