, waiting to be welcomed home by his new family in Florida, when Kabul fell to the Taliban and the US evacuated more than 122,000 people from Hamid Karzai International Airport in its withdrawal.He and his wife, Lisa Marie, looked into adoption once they realised they could not have children biologically.
Just when it looked like everything was ready for Noman to come to the US the Taliban took over Kabul."We were just waiting for the US Embassy to call us for the final interview to issue a visa for my son to be able to travel to the US," Mr Mujtaba said. So, with two sets of clothes and a snack in a small backpack, Noman started his long journey to Florida.Mr Mujtaba says on the first day when Noman and the other family tried to get to Kabul's airport they kept getting turned back by Taliban fighters."The Taliban were allowing those with American passport to go through along with a family member, and that's how my son was able to get through the Taliban security gates and make it to the American side," Mr Mujtaba said.
"There were thousands of people shoving and pushing and then Taliban forces were firing bullets into the air and sometimes, unfortunately, people were being hit," Mr Mujtaba said."So that was tough for a 10-year-old boy to be among obviously thousands of others, sort of like a wave coming in pushing everybody back and forth.
"He said it was very good... That the anxiety was removed and he was looking forward to the next day," Mr Mujtaba said."So, every day has been better than the previous day.
