Also Regina still is Henry's LEGAL parent. I think we are past the stage of arguing who has more custodial right over Henry in the eyes of the law (we also don't know if the adoption papers survived the undoing of the curse). Both Regina and Emma should have a say in Henry's future because they both love him as only mothers can, and more importantly, because Henry returns that love.

I actually think Regina might be open to the option of Henry leaving Storybrooke for his own safety. Pre-season 3 Regina was a bit selfish in her love for Henry. But she has shown since then that she is willing to give up Henry if it's for his own good.

Also, there is the option of Regina moving to New York as well. There are no more flying monkeys guarding the border, and Snow's curse did not involve false memories this time round. I'm assuming Regina made sure those adoption papers survived the curse, as she knows that in the LWM, that she will ALWAYS be Henry's mother, even though she didn't think she would ever see him again.
