Stacie Cahill's daughter Chelsea knew from a young age that she had been adopted. But when she started attending first grade, her classmates didn't understand adoption and most of them thought it was a negative thing.

"As a psychotherapist, Cahill was aware of the need for resources for families dealing with such issues, so she began to work on a book called 'Who Am I?' about an adopted child's concern about her identity."

Chelsea took the book to school and shared it with her classmates. Now they understand adoption better. Cahill also wrote a book called "I Know Who I Am", dedicated to her second adopted child  Brooklynn, and one called "My Parents Love Me Too" for biological children. Read more at CommunityPress.com.
