our work

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

FAMILIES FOR RUSSIAN & UKRAINIAN ADOPTION (FRUA) INCLUDING NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES (INC), is an all-volunteer, international 501.C3 support organization with chapters across the US and members around the world.

FRUA's mission offers families hope, help and community by providing connection, education, resources, and advocacy, and works to improve the lives of orphaned children.

Our efforts help to improve the lives of children by supporting families completed through adoption in Eastern European and Central Asian countries and, through our orphanage support efforts, to never forget the children left behind, who will grow up in those orphanages.
