It can reasonably be assumed from your question that the mother and the child are together in some foreign country. Ask yourself if the laws of the US would automatically take precedence over the laws of the other country. Even if US law says that the father can claim the child, what country is going to allow the father to come in and take the child from the mother? If the tables were turned, would the US allow this? There will be a very understandable legal dispute and the need to somehow arbitrate between different legitimate legal claims. There would be similar problems even if the child is not with the mother.
