Adoption
With the issuance of the Adoption stamp, the Postal Service continues its tradition of raising awareness of social issues. Each year in the U.S. more than 100,000 infants and older children are adopted.
The stamp design combines the colorful art of Greg Berger with text. Berger, who was adopted himself, provides his personal interpretation of this issue.
Recalling memories of his own childhood, Berger used fundamental shapes, simple forms and bright colors to create a happy, hopeful image. This graphic design attempts to convey a visual balance between reality and the fantasy of what might be. It also shows that childhood is a delicate and influential part of life.
