Perhaps not from the other state’s point of view. I remember a case ( it may be the same one) where dad killed mom in NJ , NJ court gave custody to mom’s sister with visitation to dad’s parents in I think Indiana. While the kid was there on a visit , grandparents adopted him through the court in their state. The adoption was ruled invalid after a magazine article was written , but the grandparents did not kidnap the kid .
( there was a book and tv movie about this case called “In A Child’s Name”)
