Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Accessibility Statement 
 
 
FRUA INC is committed to building a diverse, inclusive and equitable environment as it engages in fulfilling its mission.
 
FRUA INC offers families hope, help and community by providing connection, education, resources and advocacy and works to improve the lives of orphaned children.
 
Our members know what it is like to be outside “the norm,” as adoption is an alternative way to create or expand a family. Our children were born in countries where the cultures can be quite different from where they are now living in the United States and across the world. Each FRUA member also comes with individualized circumstances – parents, adoptees, professional service providers – with the sum of our experiences resulting in how we view the world.
 
As an all-volunteer organization, FRUA INC welcomes everyone to become members and volunteer their time in pursuit of supporting families connected to adoption.
 
FRUA INC believes everyone should be respected as an individual. This means being accepting of a person’s life experiences and background.
 
FRUA INC strives to create a community of belonging for our members, volunteers and those seeking our assistance.
We recognize each of us has different skills and talents, interests, capabilities and challenges and cultures leading to the shaping of our perspectives and thoughts. These traits are to be recognized and appreciated.
 
FRUA INC infuses these values into our day-to-day operations, events and programming. By providing educational materials, social media, orphan support projects and more, FRUA creates hope, help, and community, and to give a sense of belonging.
