I know this thread was started to discuss taking someone else's child, but Corona's point is very important for all to see and think about because it is not as obvious.

If one parent is taking their own child out of the country, have a notarized note from the other.....even if you're happily married and not divorced. With child abductions being a valid concern, thiis may be needed.

Our niece and nephew sometimes fly separately to Aruba, and they always prepare a note for the one with their kids.

If the child is not yours....be sure to have a note giving you permission to make decisions regarding medical care....not just a health card.
