[73] This case is distinguishable from Hsu v. Liu, supra. In that case, the clear intention was for the child to travel to Taiwan to have a temporary visit with the paternal grandmother. Here, the intention of the parties was to place the child with the paternal grandmother indefinitely; this was not a temporary trip. In Hsu v. Liu, the paternal grandmother continually breached assurances to return the child. Here, the paternal grandmother did not make such assurances. Unlike the mother in Hsu v. Liu, the mother here consented to the placement of the child in Egypt. In Hsu v. Liu, the issue was whether the mother acquiesced to the child’s remaining with the paternal grandmother, once she did not return the child, as promised. I find that, in this case, the mother initiated the placement, facilitated it through the authorization that she provided in August of 2008 and supported it up until March of 2009.
