Just Give Me Borscht

Why would any couple in their mid-forties, already grandparents and soon to be retired, think that there was something that they still needed to do? They wanted to make a difference that could be, and should be, made for others. They would give not just money, but themselves, to the lives of two children who lived deep in the heart of Siberia. They would receive just as much in return as they had given, because of one incredible truth. These were not just any children, but older children; the ones usually left behind, overlooked, or never really considered by prospective adoptive parents. One 7 and one 15-year-old whom others considered at one time or another, however, decided for whatever reason to adopt someone younger. These children faced different impossible situations that could have caused them a life of grief, if they choose the wrong course. In B. Matthew Bingham’s first book, “The Answer is NO! What is the Question?”, you will find that the author really does understand the child soon to be left behind, as he was himself adopted at the age of four and a half. In almost every country in the world, the real choice is of the child itself as to what they want, and where they hope to find…“Borscht by choice.”
