Afridi family reunited in Saskatoon
The middle of Sunday night marked the end of a five-year long struggle for a Saskatoon couple to adopt their child from Pakistan.
Waheeda Afridi arrived at the Saskatoon airport on a flight from Toronto with her husband and their son Ajjab.
A confusion over dates meant Waheeda and Ajjab arrived in Canada a day before anyone expected her, then her husband flew out to bring his family home.
“She was kind of disappointed because it was completely quiet, she was expecting friends would be there, I would be there, but nobody,” said Haidah Amirzadeh, an immigration lawyer, who has been working on the case pro bono.
