From my experience as a child welfare worker, she has to withdraw her consent legally. In order to do that she would have to show that the child is somehow being mistreated. Unfortunately missing the child is not enough. She did not have to give permission based on her custodial status she had to give permission based on the fact that she is his parent. Even if she had physical custody, and she wanted to travel with her child she would be required to obtain the non custodial parents' permission to do so. In the US the custodial parent is the one who actually has physical custody of the child unless there is a court order stating otherwise. My suggestion is to not stress yourself out about it, take comfort in the fact that legally you are doing nothing wrong and continue with your plans as waiting will delay the AOS process, which will delay the ability for the child to visit his mom, so you guys can prove your intent.  Sometimes trying to explain something to someone who is operating on emotions can create an atmosphere of unhappiness for all involved, it is better to show them. Best of luck hope it all works out. 

Thank you so much for your feeback! We are going to work to repair the relationship with her and continue on with the AOS as you suggested.
