If there is no custody order in place, yes there would really be no issue because your paternity has yet to be established. So at this point, if you wish to prevent this because you feel she would not come back and is basically taking the child to a foreign country to live, you need to seek legal counsel immediately to a) get paternity done immediately and b) ask the court to see if it is possible to have her prohibited from leaving the country.
