I'll try to keep it a little bit short on the how. But the long story short was I had a brother that's adopted. And when he grew up, He wanted to find his biological mom and just tell her thanks. And so he did. And when he was probably 20 or something, he found his biological mom, told her thanks. Turns out he had a brother that was going to go over to Russia and help build this orphanage.

I was like, okay, I'm going to take that to the bank, even though I don't know if it's true or not. And then the only glimpse of light I got in all that was when I heard about that orphanage, to go build that orphanage.
