Adoption Situations

May a child travel with just the mother to the US when the child’s visa especifies that the father come along?

Basically, the visa has an annotation that the father must be with the child at the time of traveling, but let’s say that the mother has written authorization from the father, can they travel without the father? or is the father requirement final? These are tourist visas (B1/B2)

Maybe, maybe not. but you can absolutely guarantee lots of questions when you try to enter. and how would immigration know that the written authorization is actually from the father?
