August 2005 - We are all set up to adopt from a country called Azerbaijan. After lots of research and filling out of forms our initial application is accepted and we begin the mountain of paperwork.
As things begin to move forward my heart is still not at peace with the idea that we will not be able to adopt from Pakistan. We had concluded this based on a few phone calls and some research done by my father when he was visiting Pakistan a few months ago.
October 2005 – A massive earthquake hits Pakistan. So much devastation.

This is my country and something in my heart is begging me to look into adoption from Pakistan again.
During some research online I find an online group of people dedicated to adoption from Pakistan. I post my situation and receive great feedback answers to my question… its just what we needed. After a few days of thinking about and praying about our decision we call up our initial agency and tell them we would like to withdraw from the Azerbaijan program.

April 18th 2005 – Our phone rings at 2:00 AM, its my father in law saying that the Edhi foundation has a little girl for us. We name her Danya which means gift of God and Zoha which means light.
