Families for Russian and Ukrainian Adoption, including Neighboring Countries
FRUA-DC is an all volunteer support network of families who are either in the process of adopting children from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakstan and other former Soviet Bloc countries, or who have brought their children home.
We sponsor social and cultural events, organize outings to local ethnic events, and share information about adoption related issues. We aim to help through the transition and parenting process for our families.
Our chapter covers the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.
