WHERE FAMILIES FORMED THROUGH ADOPTION IN EASTERN EUROPEAN AND CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES FIND HOPE, HELP, AND COMMUNITY.   

WELCOME TO FAMILIES FOR RUSSIAN & UKRAINIAN ADOPTION (FRUA), an international 501(c)(3) all-volunteer support organization.

With chapters across the US and members around the world, FRUA focuses on international adoption support resources for families completed through adoption in Eastern European and Central Asian countries. FRUA provides a community that nurtures children and supports parents, family and adoption education resources, and the world-class FRUA National Education Conference.

The adopted children of FRUA's families come from all former Soviet bloc countries and republics, including Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan,  Bulgaria, Belarus, Romania and many more.  FRUA believes that every child deserves a forever family and celebrates the rich heritage of our children's birth countries. Our Orphan Support efforts ensure we never forget the children left behind in those orphanages.
