Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger released a statement recounting a challenging visa process faced by a Greene County family. The Foulks family sought her assistance when they were abroad, trying to return home with their adopted daughter who needed urgent medical attention.

Harshbarger stated, "When the Foulks family reached out to our office, they were in a desperate situation — stuck overseas, fighting to bring their adopted daughter home so she could receive the life-saving care she urgently needed." She noted her office's swift response in aiding the family, highlighting the collaborative efforts with President Trump’s team. "We worked closely with President Trump’s team — specifically his Special Assistant, Jordan Cox — to cut through the red tape and move this case forward."

The congresswoman also expressed gratitude for the cooperation and support received in resolving the family's situation. "Thanks to their unwavering support, we were able to help bring Nora home where she belongs," she said, emphasizing her dedication to assisting constituents in complex situations. "It’s in moments like these that I thank God for the strength and perseverance of families like the Foulks — and for leaders who are willing to step up and do the right thing. I’ll never stop fighting for our families — no matter where in the world they need us."

Harshbarger’s statement underscores the challenges faced by families navigating complex immigration procedures, especially when urgent healthcare is involved.###
