Adoption Network Cleveland presents: Monday Evening Speaker Series

Being Secret, Keeping Secrets, Telling Secrets with Susan Kiyo Ito

Susan Kiyo Ito breaks a lifetime of secret-keeping and secret living with her new memoir, I Would Meet You Anywhere. She will talk about the consequences of having many aspects of her identity and background kept from her, of not having access to her birth certificate or adoption documents, and how she persisted until she found some of the answers. She will address the secrecy inherent in the institution of adoption, and the impact on generations of adopted people.
