In a special ceremony from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday at Wendy's in Mandela Circle, the United States Postal Service will cancel the new Adoption commemorative stamp.
Postmaster Louis Jackson said, "The Adoption stamp serves as a simple thank you to everyone involved in making homes for children and young adults who are less fortunate." He said it helps raise awareness about how adoption can make a positive difference in the lives of many children.
Guest of honor at the ceremony is Etta Rahming, district manager of the V.I. Department of Human Services, who will discuss how adoption has touched her life.
Jackson said the Adoption stamp is part of the Postal Service's long-standing tradition of raising awareness of social issues. Previous stamps have featured Breast Cancer Research, Hospice Care and Organ and Tissue Donation.
