Body:

So sorry to read this, unfortunately parental abduction is very common. &nbsp;I've researched the issue, as my son was abducted by his father. &nbsp;I have some suggestions for you, and links, but first and foremost DON'T GIVE UP. &nbsp;There ARE resources available to you even if you have limited means, you just need to focus and get people on board to help.
&nbsp;
Start right now.
1) &nbsp;Contact local police, state authorities, federal agencies. &nbsp;In the US, go to the State Dept Parental Abduction site:
http://travel.state.gov/family/abduction/Solutions/Solutions_3848.html
&nbsp;This will tell you how to open a file. &nbsp;&nbsp;This is useful in dealing with embassies abroad, they will give authority to your claim. &nbsp;Be sure to open a missing child file, get the name and email address of the person you speak with. &nbsp;Keep track of every person you speak with, and keep calling them to make sure they are on top of your child's case.
&nbsp;2) &nbsp;Try to determine&nbsp;&nbsp;where your husband has taken your child. &nbsp;Contact any of his friends and family that you can. &nbsp;Don't threaten or be hysterical, these people may be able to provide information that will be useful in finding your son. &nbsp;Determine if the country belongs to the LeHague Convention, and if so, ask the State Dept. to help contact local authorities in that country to find your husband.
&nbsp;3) &nbsp;Contact any non-profit organizations that could help.&nbsp;Mark Miller runs a Christian organization in PA that does search and rescue AT NO COST to the aggrieved parent. &nbsp;His website is www.aaflc.org, he has helped others in your situation.
&nbsp;
DON'T LOSE HEART, YOU ARE YOUR SON'S ADVOCATE, HE NEEDS YOUR HELP. &nbsp;You have your hands full with a new baby, enlist help wherever you can. &nbsp;There are so many kind people willing to help, don't be afraid to ask for it. &nbsp;CALL LOCAL TV STATIONS, LAWYER REFERRALS, COUNTY SHERIFF, LOCAL NEWSPAPER. &nbsp;Get your story out there, let everyone who might be of assistance know what has happened. &nbsp;I met a women who volunteered her time and travelled at her own expense to reunite families, there are angels out there.
