Details and pictures to follow. Just know that John Lowell, Consular General, is, my hero. And Greg is here safe and sound. He now just gets to enjoy some quality time with his girls. Love to all and thanks for the prayers.
Edited to add the details...
This morning I email John Lowell, Consular General of the US Embassy asking him to intervene and letting him know how my Senators and myself have tried to get some communication with no luck. Within an hour and a half of emailing him, a woman from the Embassy called and asked me to come in today. (They DON'T do thursday interviews so a BIG exception was made for me.) When I got back there was a email from John Lowell. Not only did they do this for me today, but I came to find out that nothing was done until I notified him today and then it was all taken care of in a matter of the previous given time frame. John Lowell is definately my hero, even though he doesn't have the best rep with adoptions, he was a great help to me today. And here are the pics.
