FRUA COMMUNITY.... SUPPORTING FAMILIES LIKE YOURS.
There are dozens of FRUA Chapters and P.O.D.'s (Parent Organized Districts) spread across the US. We support our families and provide an in-person way to connect with other families formed through adoption in Eastern Europe and central Asia. These groups fill both a social and support role, creating local and regional heritage, educational and social opportunities to come together. Children in particular benefit from meeting other kids “like me - adopted!”
To find a contact for the FRUA members nearest you, scroll down to your state or region and click on the contact information. Note that, if there is a Chapter, the specific dues for that chapter are listed below the contact name. If you do not see a Chapter or P.O.D. listed in your area, we encourage you to join FRUA at the National level. We will put you in contact with other FRUA members in your area for contact and gatherings.
You may also contact our FRUA Regional Liaison at chapters@frua.org
