Neal didn't write off the papers of Henry - so, does that mean something? Or is it just too late? Neal was never listed as Henry's father, from what I understand.

Henry will either live with Emma or Regina, while both will still a say in his upbringing. As obnoxious as he is, Henry loves both of his mothers. He would want both Emma and Regina in his life, and they in turn want to be part of it.

However, that doesn't change the fact that Regina still has no legal right to Henry, which was what I was arguing in the first place. It's comical to argue Emma's lack of legal right and then in the next breath say that the "closed adoption" is legally binding in Regina's favor. Emma signed away her parental rights in a closed adoption, in "our world". I would assume Regina legally adopted Henry. She seemed to have contact with the outside world, in Season 1. Not to mention, how did the system misplace a baby! Yeah but how could anyone procure a baby from a town that doesn't exist with people that couldn't leave? Was Regina/Rumple able to leave StoryBrooke during the curse?

I think dealing with those two. and the fact that Regina (or Rumple) has a history of

trying to"steal children"

(Hansel & Gretel, Owen) I think they swiped Henry to avoid all the middleman stuff.
