I don't think this is true as long as you have the Power of Attorney and can prove to the embassy that both parents met the child prior to the adoption (like photos from trip 1). When we adopted DD in September 2005, my DH came home immediately after court. (I stayed to wait the 10 days for the passport). When we got home my daughter was processed through just like the family where both parents stayed...and we received her CoC automatically.
There are some extra paperwork steps you have to take for the embassy, but as long as you've both met the child and both appeared in court, then I don't think one parent leaving early changes his immigration status. He should still get the CoC.
